11 Subversion is a version control system, which allows you to keep old
12 versions of files and directories (usually source code), keep a log of
13 who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like CVS, RCS or SCCS.
14 \fBSubversion\fP keeps a single copy of the master sources. This copy
15 is called the source ``repository''; it contains all the information
16 to permit extracting previous versions of those files at any time.
