If you're eager to get Subversion up and running (and you
enjoy learning by experimentation), this chapter will show you how
to create a repository, import code, and then check it back out
again as a working copy. Along the way, we give links to the
relevant chapters of this book.
Warning
If you're new to the entire concept of version control or to
the “copy-modify-merge” model used by both CVS and
Subversion, then you should read Chapter 1, Fundamental Concepts
before going any further.
