In addition to the mechanics of using a particular system, I was thinking
about also covering some more 'soft' topics:

 * how it changes/improves development workflow
 * ease of experimentation
 * diff debugging

Some people only use version control when they are going to work in a group.
Covering some of the advantages for an individual developer would be useful.

Also comparing Subversion to other version control systems might be handy.

Gee, have I gone overboard or what?<grin/>
