Does anyone know why or have contact with the book maintainers? It's a very good book. I still refer to it frequently. Bringing it up-to-date with 1.9 and current best practices would benefit all of us. Also, some sections could be expanded. Just one example is how to deal with vendor branches. There was some recent discussion here about communication between the FreeBSD and Subversion maintainers, and some practices that could be updated by FreeBSD and/or improvements made to Subversion. The results of such discussions are exactly the sort of information that should be documented in the svn-book. I propose an additional chapter on real world scenarios and case studies, to help potential adopters and long-time users alike.
