how does version control work?

I have an SVN repository that I've set up on my VPS, and I know all the basics (update, commit), but I don't know what all the other options mean.

I am running TortoiseSVN on Windows (which is great!) and can see all these features like branching, locking, merging and patching! What do all these things mean?

Is there anywhere with a good guide about how all the little bits and pieces in SVN work?

Thanks,

Tim

Answer 1

Version Control with Subversion is a good free online book which will help explain those other features.
