provided by the subversion libraries. It is no frontend to the subversion
<code class="literal">svn</code> command line tool and it doesn't depend on a special
IDE or operating system feature (ie. it is not a plugin for an IDE or an
extension to the operating system).</p><p>Subversion is a version control system similar to CVS. You will find
more information on Subversion on the Internet (see <a class="xref" href="apas05.html" title="Subversion">the section called “Subversion”</a> for the web address).</p><p>This guide doesn't explain subversion itself and it assumes that your
are already familiar with subversion and the terms it uses. If your are new
to subversion you should read at least the first few chapters of the
subversion book (see <a class="xref" href="apas05.html" title="Subversion">the section called “Subversion”</a>). It explains the basics
of version control and the concepts of subversion.</p><div class="sidebar" title="Subcommander, subcommander, sc, submerge, sm."><div class="titlepage"><div><div><p class="title"><b>Subcommander, subcommander, sc, submerge, sm.</b></p></div></div></div><p>What is what?</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Subcommander</strong></span>, with an upper
