Please describe the problem you found.  Try to avoid referring to "page
numbers", as those are subject to change over time.  If you need to, quote
the book paragraph(s) that are incorrect, and recommend corrections.

Grammatical error in paragraph:

A Subversion client commits (that is, communicates the changes made to) any  
number of files and directories as a single atomic
transaction. By atomic transaction, we mean simply this: either all of the  
changes are accepted into the repository, or none of them
is. Subversion tries to retain this atomicity in the face of program  
crashes, system crashes, network problems, and other users' ac-
tions.


Should read:

A Subversion client commits (that is, communicates the changes made to) any  
number of files and directories as a single atomic
transaction. By atomic transaction, we mean simply this: either all of the  
changes are accepted into the repository, or none of them
are. Subversion tries to retain this atomicity in the face of program  
crashes, system crashes, network problems, and other users' ac-
tions.

The changes we are discussing are plural.
