      <dt>Explanation:</dt>

      <dd>The client's authentication credentials are "pulled" from
      the user interactively, and only when the server deems that a
      challenge needs to be made.  (And contrary to popular belief,
      the <tt>--username</tt> and <tt>--password</tt> options are
      merely values to be used <em>if</em> the server issues a
      challenge; they do not "push" the credentials at the
      server.)</dd>

      <dt>Explanation:</dt>

      <dd>The <tt>svn list</tt> and <tt>svn cat</tt> commands allow
      interactive browsing of a repository (and all previous states of
      a repository) from the commandline.  (The <tt>--verbose [-v]</tt>
      switch displays full listing information.)  If Apache is being
      used as a Subversion server process (i.e. clients access via
      <strong>http://</strong>), then the latest version of the
      repository can be directly browsed by entering <em>URL</em> into
      any web browser.  Additionally, a third-party web server tool
      (such as ViewCVS) can be used with Subversion.</dd>

      <dd><tt>&hellip;</tt></dd>

      <dt>Explanation:</dt>

      <dd>Assuming that the original project data was imported into
      the repository <tt>/trunk</tt> directory, this creates a local
      directory <tt>myproj</tt> which is a mirror of the repository
      directory <tt>/trunk</tt>.  Standard Subversion convention is to
      do "mainline" development in <tt>/trunk</tt>.  See branching and
