Subversion is a leading open source version control system that provides features for: - Backing up data and configuration management through atomic commits to a centralized repository. - Distributed development via easy branching and tagging of project files and revisions. - Integrations for Windows, Linux, Unix, and web-based access through modules like Apache.

7. Subversion – Architecture The revision numbers SVN Workshop 0 1 2 3 Each revision is a complete configuration Not just file management but management of changes

8. Subversion - Concepts Atomic Commits No part of a commit takes effect until the entire commit has succeeded. Revision numbers are per-commit, not per-file; log messages are attached to the revision, not stored redundantly as in CVS. No inconsistence in repository because large commits happened at the same time Files within a commit are grouped automatically so it is effident what files have been part of a change set without extra labels SVN Workshop

9. Subversion – Branches, Tags Branching and tagging are cheap (constant time) operations Branches and tags are both implemented in terms of an underlying "copy" operation. A copy takes up a small, constant amount of space. SVN Workshop BRANCH 1 Extremely fast branching and Tagging „ before using Subversion we waited in some projects 15 min. until a branch was created.“

10. Branches Creating Branches SVN Workshop branches trunk Calc Root Paint my-calc branch branches trunk Easy to Understand Branching is Cheap Can be deleted and reanimated

11. Subversion – Staging Staging can be managed via folder structures SVN Workshop tags Project 1 Root trunk Development stage Releases for QA Final Releases Dev QA Rel

12. Suberversion – Binary Files Efficient handling of binary files Subversion is equally efficient on binary as on text files, because it uses a binary diffing algorithm to transmit and store successive revisions. After Migration to Subversion a repository is usually between 30% smaller Update and commit operations on binaries are much faster with subversion. SVN Workshop
