Subversion basics

What is Subversion?

Subversion (SVN) is the revision control system used in the NEXT software project.

The best source of information on Subversion is its online documentation:

• Subversion Homepage
• Version Control with Subversion - Online book

How do I get write permission?

To obtain write permission for the NEXT SVN repository, please get in touch with the repository administrator (at the the time of writing, Justo Martin-Albo).

Useful commands

If you're using a command-line client,

svn help

will list all the available commands. Command-specific help is available, too, e.g.:

svn help checkout

will give you information and usage for the checkout command.
