12 This command is used to pull a Subversion directory such as
13 <filename>LFS/BOOK</filename> (the LFS book) or <filename>BLFS</filename>
14 (the BLFS book) from the server. You should only need to do this once. If
15 we rearrange the directory structure (as is sometimes necessary), you may
16 need to delete your local working copy and re-check it out.
17 If this is going to be needed, it will usually be because an editor will
18 have made a <emphasis>large</emphasis> change and it will be announced at
19 least on the <email>lfs-book@linuxfromscratch.org</email> list.
