new Subversion book uploaded

[Ben Collins-Sussman <su...@collab.net>]

I've uploaded a new version of the Subversion Book to
http://svnbook.red-bean.com.  Now that we're in Beta with 1.0
approaching soon, we're trying to get our documentation up
to date again.  (It's been bit-rotting for 10 months!)

There are still many book improvements to make (all listed in our TODO
file), but this latest iteration includes coverage for a bunch of new
topics not discussed previously.  I've broken out the svnserve and
apache sections from chapter 5 and "exploded" them into their own new
chapter (chapter 6).  New topics include:

  * a new introductory table that comapres svnserve with apache
  * how the client cred-caching system works
  * how to use svnserve's built-in authn and authz abilities
  * how to define custom svnserve tunnel-agents
  * how to manage SSL server/client certs in the client
  * how to configure mod_authz_svn (for per-directory access control)

Enjoy.

P.S.  As I mentioned in an earlier email, the book is still a bit of a
moving target.  Fitz, cmpilato and I still have some changes to make
this month before the book is ready for general feedback and/or
translation.

Concerning this new section I think it'll be nice to add a couple of
thing. First of all I think it'll be nice to write (or put in an
example) that you can revoke the permission with a "user = " in the
access file.

Next I've done some testing with apache's mod_auth_anon and it seems to
work fine with mod_authz_svn. So the last sentence ("As a workaround,
you might want to create a "guest" user with read-access
to your repository, and announce the account to the general public.")
could be completed with something like: " or configure Apache
mod_auth_anon module which provide a pseudo-anonymous access very
similar to anonymous ftp".
