is an Open Source system for Revision Control , sometimes known as '''svn''' from the name of its Command Line Interface . Subversion is designed specifically to be a modern replacement for CVS and shares a number of the same key developers.
Subversion was created as a replacement for CVS. Its improvements include:
- Atomic commits. Interrupted commit operations do not cause repository inconsistency or corruption.
- Renamed/copied/(re)moved files retain full revision history.
- Native support for binary files, with space-efficient binary-diff storage.
- Directories are versioned. Entire directory trees can be moved around and/or copied very quickly, and retain full revision history.
- Constant time branching and tagging.
- Optimized repository accesses. This reduces unnecessary network traffic to the repository host.
(released 1 January , 2006 ):
- Path-based authorization for svnserve
- Improved logging and Repository listing in mod_dav_svn
- Hugely improved Python and Ruby bindings
- A handful of new Command Line switches
- Some Client And Server performance improvements
- Many improved API s
- More than 30 new bugfixes
(released May 2005 ):
- File locking for unmergeable files ("reserved checkouts")
- Full WebDAV auto-versioning
added these features among others:
