The book is right. svn won't update those other files unless you ask it
to do so.
In this particular example it's not all that important, since rev 4 and
5 of those files are identical, but if you use svnversion to find out
the current version of your working copy, you'll see that you have a
mixed revision.
Where it becomes important is if someone else modifies and commits (e.g.
committing changes to Makefile) creating rev 6, then you modify and
commit button.c again. You'll now have rev 7 of button.c and still have
rev 4 of the rest, which may no longer be identical to the HEAD revision.
This is why it's a good practice to update frequently. Then all your
files are in a consistent state.
