Introduction to Subversion

Subversion is an open source version control system built by the Apache software foundation. It enables software developers to work on the same codebase without having to keep track of versions manually. Subversion enables the developers to roll back the code to any point in history. More info on Subversion can be found here.


In order to use an SVN repository an SVN client is needed. A frequently used SVN client which is also free to use is CI/TortoiseSVN TortoiseSVN.


Installation

Because a repository is hosted from a server it usually is a paid for service. HAN-AR subscribed to a service on repositoryhosting.com to let them host the SVN repositories. A big advantage is that all the project management tools are hosted there as well which makes it a well integrated part of the development tools.


Configuration

Please consult your SVN host to configure the SVN server to your likings. When using repositoryhosting.com more info can be found on the Trac website.
