I strongly disagree with that.

Subversion is a tool for working with changes, much like Address Book  
is a tool for working with addresses.  It has numerous operations for  
those changes including reporting on what was changed, by who, when,  
and the reason they gave for the change.  Of course, it can only help  
you with what it knows about, just like your Address Book.

The more you get into version control, the more you learn that those  
smaller changes are exactly what you want.  You want to get it down  
to where each commit does just one thing, whether that's adding a new  
feature, fixing a bug, or just some copyediting.  Subversion then  
becomes even more powerful because you can work with these changes  
individually.
