Comment:
Reading Julian's email, his criticism would seem to apply to chapter 4...
but he also wrote that criticism a year before the svnbook was even
published. The branching/merging chapter has long had a special
'changesets' box that explains the idea of a revision number being both a
'state of the repository' and a 'name of a change made'.
I don't think this sort of thing can be explained in the 'fundamental
concepts' chapter at the beginning of the book, because that chapter
doesn't even come close to talking about using the -r switch, backdating
working copies, etc.
