There's really nothing to learn. I only know a few commands svn up svn st svn rename svn add svn remove svn ci that's all I need to know and I've got by with just that for years. version control is so essential to the way I work now that I can't even fathom working without it. it's not just about version control for me (I very rarely need to "roll back" code etc), it's more about security, having access anywhere I want (my repositories are remote) and being able to deploy sites with just one line of code instead of faffing over what has changed and what hasn't on the live server.
