Thanks enrico,

That looks much better :-)

OK, ChrisH was heard asking on #ubuntu-docs how tags, branches and trunk works
"Looks like I have to learn subversion from scratch if I look at all that 
trunk, head, tag, branch, patch, main stuff."

"What about tags/? Will those snapshots be taken automatically? Or am I 
supposed to do anything in there?"

"branches/ are probably alternatives that could be "merged" somehow if we 
desire, right?"

People who have not been using SVN will need to do a little reading. Writers 
wanting training on Subversion can look here

ChrisH, to answer your questions, please read the following section:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/svn-book.html#svn-ch-4

Sometimes people don't like using the command line interface. For these people 
I suggest using a GUI Front end. My personal favorite is eSvn 
[http://esvn.umputun.com/]. It is available for GNU/Linux and Windows. 

eSvn has been accepted to debian. The package page is here: 
http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/esvn.html.

If you don't like eSvn I have a list of solutions on this page

Thanks,
