Hi,
That document is ancient!
It has 1.2.3 listed as the latest version.
SVN is currently at 1.5.something 2 I think)
And it is definitely easier to find now than when the author
originally wrote that info up too!
I am really not a big fan of being told to RTFM: when I ask a question
on a mailing list...
but to be honest - in this case you'll be glad you did.
The subversion documentation is almost a thing of beauty.
For a technical document it is written in a non-technical tone and has
plenty of examples to solidify the learning process.
You could probably read it from start to end in about 2 hours. 3 if
you have a play as you go through it...
Also if you plan to use a SVN client and not the command line for
"speaking with" you repo, then TortoiseSVN is a really good place to
start and also has fabulous built-in help!
Good luck.
Beau.
