  Practical Subversion is a guide to the Subversion (source control management system) version control system. It provides a crash course in how to use Subversion, intended to get the reader up and running as quickly as possible. Beyond the quick-start introduction, the book includes advanced topics such as repository administration, Apache integration, third party tools, migrating revision history from other version control systems, and even accessing the Subversion API's from other programs. This book is based on 1.0 release - which has been in development for about 2 years. Written for the programmer with some experience with an existing version control system (like CVS or Perforce), Practical Subversion explains and demonstrates how to apply that experience in the Subversion environment, which is more simple and better than CVS.Technology Involved:Subversion is an open source project that provides a server and a command-line client. Subversion runs on many flavors of Linux, Mac OS X, and Win32. Subversion is a new system. The current, leading, open source revision control system is CVS. It is hoped that Subversion's improved features will eventually lead to it usurping CVS in the open source world.
