- <para>Branching, tagging, and merging are concepts common to
- almost all version control systems. If you're not familiar with
- these ideas, we provide a good introduction in this chapter. If
- you are familiar, hopefully you'll find it interesting to
- see how Subversion implements them.</para>

- <para>Branching is a fundamental part of version control. If
- you're going to allow Subversion to manage your data, this
- is a feature you'll eventually come to depend on. This chapter
- assumes that you're already familiar with Subversion's basic
- concepts (<xref linkend="svn.basic"/>).</para>
+ <para>Branching and merging are fundamental aspects of version
+ control, simple enough to explain conceptually but offering just
+ enough complexity and nuance to merit their own chapter in this
+ book. Herein, we'll introduce you to the general ideas behind
+ these operations as well as Subversion's somewhat unique approach
+ to them. If you've not familiarized yourself with Subversion's
+ basic concepts (found in <xref linkend="svn.basic"/>), we
+ recommmend that you do so before reading this chapter.</para>
