start to finish, you should by now have acquired enough
knowledge to use the Subversion client to perform the most
common version control operations. You understand how to
check out a working copy from a Subversion repository. You are
comfortable with submitting and receiving changes using the
<span class="command"><strong>svn commit</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>svn update</strong></span>
functions. You've probably even developed a reflex which causes
you to run the <span class="command"><strong>svn status</strong></span> command almost
unconsciously. For all intents and purposes, you are ready to
use Subversion in a typical environment.</p><p>But the Subversion feature set doesn't stop at “<span class="quote">common
version control operations</span>”. It has other bits of
functionality besides just communicating file and
directory changes to and from a central repository.</p><p>This chapter highlights some of Subversion's features that,
while important, aren't part of the typical user's daily routine.
It assumes that you are familiar with Subversion's basic file and
directory versioning capabilities. If you aren't, you'll want to
first read <a class="xref" href="svn.basic.html" title="Chapter 1. Fundamental Concepts">Chapter 1, <i>Fundamental Concepts</i></a> and <a class="xref" href="svn.tour.html" title="Chapter 2. Basic Usage">Chapter 2, <i>Basic Usage</i></a>. Once you've mastered those basics and
consumed this chapter, you'll be a Subversion power-user!</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="svn.tour.summary.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="svn.tour.revs.specifiers.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Summary </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Revision Specifiers</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
