Examples (TL;DR)

Synopsis

svn command [options] [args]

Overview

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

For more information about the Subversion project, visit  http://subversion.apache.org.

Documentation for Subversion and its tools, including detailed usage explanations of the svn, svnadmin, svnserve and svnlook programs, historical background, philosophical  approaches and reasonings, etc., can be found at  http://svnbook.red-bean.com/.

Run `svn help' to access the built-in tool documentation.
