Hello,
So, I'm a newbie, who started by blindly groping the elephant.
I've found this handbook to be one of the best I've come across.
It is very well written!
If you wish, below I offer some dreadfully simple editorial
notes coming from the uninitiated, virgin mind, naiive to
what I was about to read and expecting a struggle to comprehend.
(It wasn't after all).
They may assist the next round of "men of Indostan".
There is one edit with a [<set of choices for you>] which I am
yet to discover for myself!
After a mere day and a half, I've got a server up and running
with our project stuffed into SVN, and with some smiles, have
made the first round of new (bug?) contributions to our code.
Kind regards,
Mark Westenberger

A Quick Start
If you're one of those folks who prefers to learn by experimentation,
the following demonstration will get
you up and running, with a small "Hello World"-sized example complete
with the single SVN repository.
...
Subversion stores all versioned data in a single central repository. To
begin, create that single new repository:
...
This command creates a new directory /path/to/repos which contains a
Subversion repository. Note that
in this case a path is used and not a URL. This is because svnadmin is
used on the server-side. Elaborations
on this difference are presented in the section entitled "Repository
Creation and Configuration".
...
your structure should contain three top-level directories named branches,
tags, and trunk. The names "branches", "tags" and "trunk" are [reserved?
| special? | just suggestions?].
Further examples will expect this structure, so don't be skimpy on space
by cutting it back. Here is the tree you should create:
...
At this point, you have the option of making your new repository
available to others over a network as the
single, central SVN repository. This would expect that the computer on
which you are performing these
examples could act as a server within your specific network.
----------------------------------------------------------
Creating a Branch
There are two different ways to make a copy. We'll demonstrate the messy
way first, just to make the concept clear.
You will start from the root directory, and not "trunk" as we need the
subdirectories in the next steps.
So, to begin, check out a working copy of the project's root directory,
