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

Technically speaking, commits *do* create new filesystem (in the "virtual versioned filesystem encapsulated by the repository" sense) trees. Those trees just happen to share most of their storage with previous trees. Still, I agree that some reconciliation between these two subtly different definitions of "revision" needs to happen.

Chapter 4 probably isn't the place to get into a comprehensive discussion of libsvn_fs_*'s storage mechanisms vs. a user's view of a revision (and everything in-between)...so in [r3896] I simply changed the language to be similar to that in svn.basic.in-action.revs.
