[TxMt] subversion question

[Oliver Taylor]

So, in the process of writing the screenwriting bundle I'm working  
(and using every day) I've come to the conclusion that it might be  
cool to look into subversion for working with screenwriting projects.

Obviously I know nothing about subversion, so my question is:

Is this stupid?
Do you guys have any good resources for getting started with subversion?
Is there a better solution (since I'm just using text-documents)?
I can't seem to find a really good intro on how to use TextMate with  
Subversion, did I miss it somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
