You're best choice here is <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/>. It's the
full subversion manual, written by the people that wrote subversion.
You can buy the book (easy to read in an armchair in front of the fire,
and supporting the project financially), and you can read the latest
version for free online.
The main website <http://subversion.tigris.org/> has a faq, and lots of
useful links.

Definitely recommended.

That looks like a nice utility. Normally I avoid such "toolbar" type
gadgets, especially anything that plugs into explorer (since a mistake
can really screw up windows). But in this case, I know the author knows
what he is doing after using Tortoise for ages.
