New issue 80 by ppitha: ch 4 Branching and Merging - incorrect definition  
of revision
http://code.google.com/p/svnbook/issues/detail?id=80

I'm both a newbie to svn and a nitpicker.  Chapter 4 states near the top:
"At this point, you should understand how each commit creates an entirely
new filesystem tree (called a “revision”) in the repository."

Finding it alarming that a commit would create an entirely new filesystem
tree, I went and read the chapter on Revisions where it states "Each time
the repository accepts a commit, this creates a new state of the filesystem
tree, called a revision. "

I propose the chapter 4 text say "At this point, you should understand how
each commit creates a new state of filesystem tree (called a “revision”) in
the repository."

Thanks,
Phil
