	Ryan, please, pretty please, I beg you! ;-) I don't want to loose you  
over to boredom out of repeating this advice over and over again to  
everyone who forgets. Can you please team up with Mark, and possibly  
Blair, and write up some sort of a quick subversion FAQ/Tutorial/HOWTO/ 
Crash-course/whatever where instructions like these can be written on  
stone and referred to who ever might need them? It would make a great  
addition to the guide and maybe even the Wiki!

	Thoughts?

	Regards,...
