I've been working on the Subversion Cheat Sheet too, as you may have noticed from the site's "In Progress" list, and that also is now ready to be sent out for feedback. I've uploaded the first version to the google group.
All feedback, suggestions and criticisms are welcome. This is where I'm hoping the group approach will prove most useful, with more eyes (and brains) to spot errors, suggest changes and additions, and otherwise improve the quality of the cheat sheet.
You should be able to see it (but if not, let me know) at:
I've not solicited ideas for content for this, as I'd already started working on a version of this cheat sheet before the group was set up. However, that doesn't mean suggestions for changes to content are not welcome - far from it.
I've focussed on the user side, rather than admin, and I've not touched on svnlook, svnsync or repository hooks. I am thinking that maybe a subversion administation cheat sheet might be a good addition. Does anyone see a problem with the focus or have any thoughts on an admin cheat sheet to go with this?
As with the Python preview, it's a PNG, for now (but will be a PDF too as usual when it's released). I've also put a watermark on there as there could still be mistakes on it at this point and I don't want people thinking this is the final release, should it make it out of the group.
Also, as with the Python sheet, I've gone with a simple version numbering system so it's easier to see if you're looking at the latest version released.
The first version of the Subversion cheat sheet looks great so far. My
only suggestion is to possibly add a section on Merging, which is
quite confusing, even thru the GUI interface of TortoiseSVN, as I
always seem to specify it backwards from what Subversion wants.
Thanks for your efforts - they are appreciated.

I've added a merge section as suggested. I've also removed the Recommended Repo layout bit - not, I think, something will need a reference for more than once. I've also rearranged a few descriptions to free up some space for the merge section, and so I could expand the admin bits from just creation to include a couple of other basic admin tasks. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same.
I was going to release the Python cheat sheet this week, but haven't had time to replace the regex section. However, I think the SVN one is pretty much there, so change of plan - SVN one to be released this week instead, with Python in a couple of weeks.
Any more suggestions or feedback for the SVN cheat sheet? Now's the time - aiming for a release tomorrow lunchtime :)

The svn cheatsheet is looking good, the only thing i might add is some
of the built in properties such as svn:ignore and svn:externals and
the like, but not sure where you would put them... ;)
I think its in great shape for the initial "official" release
tomorrow. I like all of the changes in v2 - removing the one-time info
on repository layout makes sense with the "cheat sheet" approach, and
the Merge examples are great - makes me realize in this instance, it
is easier and less confusing to use the command-line approach than it
is to use the GUI based TortoiseSVN. :)
The initial release version of this will most likely go up on my
bulletin boards at both work and home tomorrow then! Thanks again,
Alan

Enjoy, and please do feel free to continue offering suggestions and feedback here. It's not perfect, of course, and I'm always looking for ways to improve these things.
Also, I've just realised that this is the first all-new cheat sheet in over a year - the last properly new one was released July 2007, with just the 4 with updated designs since then. I've done poorly this year!
