I'm a VSS user learning how to use SVN, and I have selected TortoiseSVN as my platform. Can someone tell me what the term "HEAD Revision" means?

Revision. Every time you commit a set of changes, you create one new “revision” in the repository. Each revision represents the state of the repository tree at a certain point in its history. If you want to go back in time you can examine the repository as it was at revision N.
'SVN Revision Graph' is a graphical representation of history for any resource. Using Revision Graph we can see a resource history with copy operation, applied for this resource.
If you want more control over the update process, you should use TortoiseSVN → Update to Revision... instead. This allows you to update your working copy to a specific revision, not only to the most recent one.
Right click on the selected revision(s), then select Context Menu → Revert changes from this revision. Or if you want to make an earlier revision the new HEAD revision, right click on the selected revision, then select Context Menu → Revert to this revision. This will discard all changes after the selected revision.
It means the Latest Revision.
Getting the HEAD Revision from SVN would be like doing a 'Get Latest...' in VSS.
