+===== Using the Caret (^) =====
+As of Subversion 1.6, from a working copy, you can use the caret (^) as a substitute for the root URL of the project. Thus, if your you are in your working copy someplace, the following are equivilent. Note that even if you only checked out trunk, the tags are still accessible since it is the URL that is substituted for the caret. This can greatly reduce typing.
+<code>
+http://svn.example.com/project/trunk/subdir1
+^/trunk/subdir1
