Subversion is a free/open-source version control system. That is, Subversion manages files and directories over time. A tree of files is placed into a central repository. The repository is much like an ordinary file server, except that it remembers every change ever made to your files and directories. This allows you to recover older versions of your data, or examine the history of how your data changed. In this regard, many people think of a version control system as a sort of time machine. Joint work with msf@, Sigfred H?versen, Alex Holst and Steven Mestdagh ok naddy@, go ahead msf@

Due to known problems with Berkeley db on macppc you can only create
|

filesystem (fsfs) based repositories. No problems exist when subversion
|
|
is only used as a client, however.
