Subversion is a version control system that attempts to take the goodness from CVS (such as an easily automated command-line interface and a lack of locking) and get rid of some of its long-standing shortcomings -- such as the lack of 'atomic commits'. [1]

Subversion can use Apache for a server based repository. One can then access the repository via the http:// or svn://-protocol instead of file://. Accessing a server can also be encrypted (https and svn+ssh)

---

• commits are truly atomic - particularly for multi-file commits
• renaming files keeps version history
• Branching and tagging is cheap (constant time)
  • only copies single directory node (with revision)
  • branches (and tags) are stored as deltas (not full copies)
  • branches (and tags) exist physically
• reduced client-server communication (mainly for update and commit)
• global revisioning (the repository is versioned as a whole - not individual files)
• 'revert' replaces 'delete and update'

  • Branches are for the minority.
    • put the code that most developers want on the trunk, and put the minority on the branch.
  • Put the branch revision number in the comment.
  • Backport to the branch.
    • I.e. update/merge the branch with trunk regularly.
  • Put the revision number in the backport.
  • Prune back dead branches.
    • To keep your branches directory manageable, you can delete the branch when you are done with it. You still have the history of the files in Subversion, and can even retrieve the full branch later if you need it.

Problems

I am using a rather old version of SVN (1.1.4) because my Win2k cannot handle a newer one (my system seems to be flawed here).
Old versions of SVN cannot cooperate with Apache 2.2, though.
