Description:

Subversion is a concurrent version control system which enables one or more
users to collaborate in developing and maintaining a hierarchy of files and
directories while keeping a history of all changes. Subversion only stores the
differences between versions, instead of every complete file. Subversion also
keeps a log of who, when, and why changes occured.

As such it basically does the same thing CVS does (Concurrent Versioning
System) but has major enhancements compared to CVS and fixes a lot of the
annoyances that CVS users face.

This package contains the client, if you're looking for the server end
of things you want subversion-repos. You'll want to install
%{libsvn_ra_dav_name} or %{libsvn_ra_local_name} or %{libsvn_ra_svn_name}
to access HTTP/DAV or local or svnserve respositories, respectively.
