Normally the FB documentation is great, so I’m just having a little whinge here about the doc for “subversion checkout”. I’m not hugely familiar with SubVersion, and I used to be a technical writer, so I’m doubly sensitive 🙂  
  
The documentation on this page has a lot of “Foo: Specify the foo” type definitions. Would it be possible to update these, at least using some kind of synonym to add meaning to the term being defined.  
  
In particular: “Destination: Specify the destination directory”. I don’t get it - I want to check out a directory into a working directory. Why do I need a “destination directory”?
