* Versioning MetaData along with the files allows for moving and renaming files within the repository without dissociating them from their history.

* Change sets guarantee that the repository will always be in a defined and consistent state. They also allow rolling back large commits as a whole, and are the foundation for SubVersion's vastly improved branch and tag handling.

The CommandLine client, analogous to cvs(1) and with very similar use for the most part, is called <tt>svn</tt>. <tt>svn help</tt> provides a list of all commands and global options. <tt>svn help ''command''</tt> provides help about the specific ''command''. Unfortunately, there is no ManPage to speak of.

-~~!Things that you might want to know about merging:~~

-* if you change the name remember to include the name of the old file at the end of the merge or else it will give a weird error message - use syntax like this:

-** <tt>svn merge new.c -r1:5 ../old/prevnew.c</tt>

-* if merge is not automatic edit the file manually and then remember to do this:

-** <tt>svn resolve new.c</tt>

-

-~~!Problems experienced:~~

-* if you do a <tt>svn delete</tt> of a directory the next <tt>svn commit</tt> will fail with a weird error message unless you manually delete the directory yourself afterwards. This looks like it is fixed in 1.1.14 but I have not tested that.

-~~!Flagging a file as executable~~

-~~<tt>svn propset svn:executable on ''filename''</tt>~~
