Explanation of SVN to non-programmers

Question

I am working with a number of new technical support users. Sometimes they like to fix small problems that may not be a priority for our developers. This requires teaching the basics of SVN for non-programmers, which I found can be a little difficult.

What resources did you find useful? Are there any charts that you usually use for training SVN?

In fact, the trick makes them understand the importance of branching; anyone can easily understand the concepts of version control itself.
