Intro
Subversion (svn) is a version control system initiated in 2000 by CollabNet Inc. It is used to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal was to be a mostly-compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (cvs) and provide a mush more integrated support for versioning of binary blobs.
Subversion is used by many open source projects. Some well-known projects that use Subversion include: Apache Software Foundation, KDE, GNOME, Free Pascal, GCC, Python, Ruby, Samba and Mono. SourceForge.net and Tigris.org also provide Subversion hosting for their open source projects. Google Code and BountySource systems use it exclusively.
Subversion is released under the Apache License, making it free software.
