About Subversion
Subversion is an open source version control system, released under an Apache/BSD-style license. This application was designed, and is on track to replace CVS. Users familiar with CVS will be able to jump into Subversion easily as most of the interface is the same. Details about the benefits and technical information can be viewed on the Subversion home page, here are just a few of the highlights:
- Atomic Commits
- Versioned meta-data
- Revision numbers are per-commit, not per-file
- Uses Apache web server and WebDAV/DeltaV for network communication
- Enables binary diffs
