I like either idea, though of course I lean towards not duplicating information that's already maintained elsewhere unless, of course, there's reason to believe that it *won't* be maintained elsewhere.
Just for kicks, I did some Googling around: - "Subversion cheat sheet": returns a number of third-party (largely PDF) resources - "Subversion quick start": the project's quick-start page wins the day, with the Book's "High-Speed Tutorial" second - "getting started with Subversion": the project's quick-start page again is the top hit, with the book nearly not even making the top-10 hits So, yeah, I think linking from http://subversion.apache.org/quick-start is a wise move. -- Mike On Fri, Aug 25, 2017 at 7:03 AM, Johan Corveleyn <jcor...@gmail.com> wrote: > [ cc -= svnbook-dev, as I guess this will not become book-material. > More below ... ] > > On Thu, Jul 13, 2017 at 6:34 PM, C.
