I'm looking for "more than an introduction" to subversion for someone like me who is by far most comfortable with git and passingly competent with subversion and looking to learn more advanced subversion use. Preferably something 'faster' than reading Practical Subversion.

SVN has one central repository – which makes it easier for managers to have more of a top down approach to control, security, permissions, mirrors and dumps. Additionally, many say SVN is easier to use than Git. For example, it is easier to create a new feature. With Git, it takes an extra step to create a new feature.
SVN is better than Git for architecture performance, binary files, and usability. And it may be better for access control and auditability, based on your needs.
While SVN is no longer the most used VCS, it has managed to establish itself in a few very niche areas. Features like customizable access control to project files and a central server are some reasons why developers may still be using SVN.
Many people prefer Git for version control for a few reasons: It's faster to commit. Because you commit to the central repository more often in SVN, network traffic slows everyone down. Whereas with Git, you're working mostly on your local repository and only committing to the central repository every so often.
