3rd paragraph (and Figure 4-17)

from author:
"Compare this with figure 4-17" should read "Compare this with figure 4-16".

"the symbol for MAIN/readme#11" should read "the symbols for MAIN/readme".

Figure 4-17 doesn't quite match the example. The MAIN/readme has too many revisions.
Its highest revision should be 9, connected by an arrow coming from V1/readme.

Item 2 in list

(from author)
The "p4 integ" example is completely wrong. It should be:

p4 integ -h -f //Ace/V1/db/Jamfile@3461,3461 //Ace/MAIN/db/Jamfile

Also, the explanatory note that follows should say:
The revision range @3461,3461 makes Perforce use @3460 as the merge base.
