It is meant to be adjusted to whatever the URL is for your repository. Remember that SVN can use at least five different protocols so any one chosen would be "wrong" for a majority of the readers, but other examples use both http://, svn:// and svn+ssh://. The backslash character is a continuation character used in many Unix shells to break up the command to several separate lines. It is used to indicate "don't expect that you can press enter after the log message and enter the URL on the next line". As someone pointed out ^ can be used in Windows for the same function. I'd be happy if we can improve the book to be more clear in this regard - feel free to make a suggestion. Kind regards, Daniel
