As with most of us when trying to master Subversion, you might be slightly overwhelmed with the amount of info you have to learn to become a “Subversion Guru” (not just basic use which is plenty to handle, but also build, branch, etc.) wouldn’t it be nice if someone made sort of a condensed version of the key points from this book and other sources for  a nice quick reference?  Well, that’s what I’ve been doing just because the book is so damn long and there’s just so much to learn about subversion and I need to become a “Lead” on this in a short amount of time.  I use this as sort of a long cheat sheet / learning doc for myself as I become a Subversion master.  It gathers key points that I felt were important and I laid them out into bullet points.  The docs are just too long and ramble too much into paragraphs in my opinion.

While my shortened key points doc (which also contains my own notes or information from other sources) is not completely done, feel free to use by downloading it Subversion Key Points Condensed.  I will also add my build process in here once I figure out how I’m going to do that for our team.  The doc behind this link will be continually updated till I feel it’s enough for me to get by.

I’d also be curious to know your team’s build process from tagging to push including branches you have set up for different stages in development.

Great. Now the problem is, where are the repositories? There are dozens of repositories that need to be dumped and I don't know what they are or where they are located in the root file system. The client creates repositories on the fly wherever they want. That's just the way they do their work. I had to come up with some scripts to help me determine the repository locations by traversing a given part of the file system. Of course, I used Python to do that work.
