NAME

svn - Subversion command line client tool

SYNOPSIS

svn command [options] [args]

OVERVIEW

Subversion is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files and directories (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like CVS, RCS or SCCS. Subversion keeps a single copy of the master sources. This copy is called the source ``repository''; it contains all the information to permit extracting previous versions of those files at any time.

Documentation for Subversion and its tools, including detailed usage explanations of the svn, svnadmin, svnserve and svnlook programs, historical background, philosophical approaches and reasonings, etc., can be found at svnbook.red-bean.com
