Blatant plug
I've written an article on Subversion for the O'Reilly Network :
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2002/10/31/subversion.html
This is an introduction, aimed at people that don't necessarily
know CVS or another similar software, that explains in simple
terms how to setup a local Subversion repository, for a single user.
(The goal is to have more people to try Subversion, by flattening
the current learning curve.) Of course, any kind of feedback is
welcome.
I plan to publish another article, that will cover more advanced
features -- networked repository, multiple users.

Congratulations, Brad. Will the book be online at some point? (I'll
probably get a hardcopy, I'm just asking out of curiosity).

Cool! BTW - If anyone cares, the book "Software Configuration Management Patterns" from Addison-Wesley comes out today and mentions Subversion (and the URL) at the end of the section that covers CVS basic concepts

Indeed. I should have mentioned that ; it just isn't consistent with the
other examples (because the trunk/ directory is in the working copy.)
(More advanced examples to come in the 2nd article, so I'll have a chance
to correct myself ;-)

Well written, a very clear presentation!
One "best practices" note: in your example of 'svn copy' on page 2
(where you're talking about tagging and branching), you demonstrate a
branch copy, but invoked within a working copy. I think it's more
common to invoke it directly on URLs, though, for example
$ svn cp -r42 http://blah/repos/trunk/x http://blah/repos/branches/y
In fact, as far as I know that's the only way we've ever made a branch
or tag copy in the Subversion repository, so far. It uses no local
disk space, and it specifies the revision precisely.
