Great! I added you to the project and gave you commit access. Please
tell me about any problems you might have.
The write address of the web in subversion is:
svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/debtags/web/trunk
You may need to explicitly use the username:
svn+ssh://phillatw-guest@svn.debian.org/svn/debtags/web/trunk

Yes, it's nice in that you can just turn an e-mail or a couple of notes
into an article without changing the editor :) And I can also put the
same contents on, say, the README or FAQ file in the package as well as
on a webpage.

Luckily enough, it's quite easy: just replace cvs with svn and 90% of
commands are the same. The remaining 10% are things one always wanted
=66rom cvs, like "svn mv" :)
Plus, there's no special handling for HEAD or branches and tags, but
it's just a file space with revision tracking: "trunk" is the
conventional name of the directory where HEAD development happens, while
"tags" is the conventional name of the directory where tags are made
(just by copying a specific version of the thrunk in there) and similar
happens with "branches".
Anyway, feel free to try things around and ask for help.
