As Otto stated above there were lots of 'restructurings' done. During
this operation the result does not seem to work, because some images
are gone now.

While being away from
the internet for some days I updated my manual-repository and got lots
of SVN-updates.

Too sad that the update did not gone smoothly. My version of the
current trunk does not compile.

Checking with  'svn log' there were lots of commits with no usefull
log-message, also the ChangeLog-file in SVN does not represent the
commits.
I would be happy if we could follow some more strict commit-rules
(which need to be formalized!).
Needless to say that the latex-files _always_ should work when checked
into SVN (which is currently not the case).

There is a brilliant documentation for SVN-usage[1] which sheds light
on all details of SVN...

Is someone responsible to change the filenames to the new images-names
in the whole document or is that left to the responsible person of
the chapter?

Again, I would love to have an always compiling SVN-repo.

Sorry for beeing so harsh, but cleaning up a local repository with
locally changed files plus some broken remote updates is really a pain
(and I will not spending another hour again to do so).

Best regards

	Stephan
