Ryan,
Thank you very much once more for you special attention and pacience,
Now the things get clear in my mind.
The problem about the book, IMHO, is that it aims to be a complete guide.
This is nice because weīd need that information in some situations, but the
Quick Guide miss too many things and it just give a view about few thing
in subversion.
So, the beginner have to read the book and that so many information
makes some confusing in the beginnerīs mind.
Iīd suggest first, more objectivity in the book or a Quick Guide that
offers better understandment about subversion.
But itīs OK, I understand that it isnīt the write place to discuss
this issue, and that Open Source lives with colaborations.
Itīs just thoughts.
Thanks in advance,
Ronan
