Practical Subversion (Expert's Voice in Open Source)
by Garrett Rooney
What I especially like about product-oriented books like (Practical Subversion) is when the authors sneak in advice on best practices?gems that make you go, ?wow,' in a bathtub. (Practical Subversion) introduced me to some new things that I hadn't considered before (tab competion? cool!). (Practical Subversion's) narrative style means you can actually read it, without being mired in a hodgepodge of footnotes and references.
