Subversion is a version control tool designed to provide a compelling
alternative to CVS. (See http://subversion.tigris.org/ for more
information; http://www.svnbook.org/ is the best documentation.) I
have installed Subversion 1.1.0-rc2 in the svn locker to encourage
people to experiment with an use Subversion on Athena.
Normally, Subversion's default repository back end uses Berkeley DB,
which cannot run over a remote filesystem. I have built this
installation of svn without Berkeley DB support, so that the default
repository back end is the newer FSFS back end (see
http://web.mit.edu/ghudson/info/fsfs). This back end works well over
AFS.
There are some notes in /mit/svn/README for the curious.
For now, bug reports and other feedback should go to me.
