In this message I'll try to focus on specifics that are probably amenable to small changes/explanations. There are many specific commands/menu items whose meaning is not clear to me, and often still not clear after reviewing the manual.
First, it would be good if the installation section for Windows, 2.2.1, mentioned that admin privileges were required (probably only post-XP?). Second, the discussion of Windows explorer integration in 5.2 does not explain much of anything, i.e., what the specific commands in the context menu do or what the overlay icons mean (the latter I think I know). Here, as elsewhere, my biggest uncertainty is whether commands operate on the working/local copy, the repository, or some combination. What's the difference between forget and remove? If revert files operates on the working copy (my guess), what are the implications for branching and merging? I looked around for similar entries in the more fully documented Workbench section 5.4. esp the file context menus 5.4.10, but didn't find much--it does discuss revert. Also unclear to me are update, synchronize and recovery. 5.4 is generally much better, but does not always explain things, e.g., 5.4.1 Workbench menus just lists the menus. I think most of the items are explained further down in the context of toolbars. Having this stuff documented in the manual would be nice; some kind of tool tip might be even more useful.
