I think notes/fsfs is not the best place for this information. Users
and administrators don't usually read stuff in notes/, it's more meant
for developers of Subversion.

Instead, a new FAQ entry and/or a patch to svnbook.red-bean.com would
be the best thing. Do you have time to make these? If so, see
http://subversion.tigris.org/mailing-list-guidelines.html#patches.
If not, no problem, just thought I'd try :-).

Thanks,
