The book is written by some of the developers of
Subversion, and is widely regarded as an authoritative guide.
The book explores:
Fundamental concepts
Basic usage
Advanced topics including file portability, sparse
directories, locking, and changelists
Branching and merging
Repository administration
Server configuration
Customizing
