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 common files required by subversion clients and
servers.

You can build subversion with some conditional build swithes;

(ie. use with rpm --rebuild):
--with debug Compile with debugging code
