Robert, we've intentionally stopped mirroring the Subversion FAQ in the
book, and instead try to scatter some very basic troubleshooting information
throughout the book in informational sections relevant to the situation.

First-level troubleshooting for Subversion is usually self-obtainable using
the community-maintained FAQ (http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html) and by
Googling through mailing list archives for conversations around similar
problems other folks have had.  For more in-depth help, though, no static
document -- even a book -- is going to help, and you're encouraged to
interact directly with the Subversion users@ mailing list folk, or with a
company (such as CollabNet) that offers paid support around Subversion.
