This 前言 explains a little about the TortoiseSVN project, the community of people who work on it, and the licensing conditions for using it and distributing it.

The 第 1 章 简介 explains what TortoiseSVN is, what it does, where it comes from and the basics for installing it on your PC.

In 第 2 章 基本概念 we give a short introduction to the Subversion revision control system which underlies TortoiseSVN. This is borrowed from the documentation for the Subversion project and explains the different approaches to version control, and how Subversion works.

服务器安装一章里介绍了如何安装一个版本控制服务器。虽然大部分的 Subversion 用户从来不需要自己安装服务器,但是对系统管理员来说这一章非常有用。

The chapter on 第 4 章 版本库 explains how to set up a local repository, which is useful for testing Subversion and TortoiseSVN using a single PC. It also explains a bit about repository administration which is also relevant to repositories located on a server.

The 第 5 章 日常使用指南 is the most important section as it explains all the main features of TortoiseSVN and how to use them. It takes the form of a tutorial, starting with checking out a working copy, modifying it, committing your changes, etc. It then progresses to more advanced topics.

第 6 章 SubWCRev 程序 is a separate program included with TortoiseSVN which can extract the information from your working copy and write it into a file. This is useful for including build information in your projects.

The 附录 B, 如何实现 … section answers some common questions about performing tasks which are not explicitly covered elsewhere.

The section on 附录 D, TortoiseSVN 操作 shows how the TortoiseSVN GUI dialogs can be called from the command line. This is useful for scripting where you still need user interaction.

The 附录 E, 命令行交叉索引 give a correlation between TortoiseSVN commands and their equivalents in the Subversion command line client svn.exe.
