Documentation Request
Hi,
The subversion documentation is generally very good. I do have a
complaint. The options to the various commands are not documented.
There may be an example which hints at the operation of an option, but
there is no reference documentation as far as I can see. This is
somewhat frustrating to me. Any chance of some elaboration on options
in the documentation?
-- Andrew Bell
P.S. - I'd be happy to help rectify the situation.

There's also 'svn help <command>', which shows every possible option
the command takes, with short explanations.

Sorry. I missed the options being all in one place at the beginning
of the commands. It's not so obvious in the printed documentation as
it is in the HTML. Though it may be redundant, it wouldn't hurt to
have the options described where they are listed in each command.

What's wrong with http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch09.html ?
That chapter seems to give nitty-gritty on every command, what switches
and arguments are used, etc.
