Just for starters.

Here's a simple tutorial. The local repository stuff isn't relevant but 
the rest is. It doesn't cover branching (or rather it does because 
branching is exactly the same as tagging in svn, but it doesn't tell 
you that nor explain why).

Here is the official SVN user guide book. Contains everything you need 
to know. Worth skimming through or dipping in, unless you've got time 
to read the whole thing of course!

That site is not responding for me at the moment, which is surely a 
temporary problem, always worked before. Here's a mirror I've found:

   http://support.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/manuals/subversion/index.html

FAQ:

   http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html

SVN home page:

   http://subversion.tigris.org/

I'll come up with something a bit more box specific soon.

Cheers,

Martin.
