-Describe
[Subversion
] here
.
+subversion is a modern replacement to
[CVS
]. CVS was originally a bunch of wrapper shell scripts around diff3(1) and [RCS], and is showing it's age.
+
+Subversion has a "changeset", a commit is one atomic operation that either completes or fails. CVS has one operation per file. Subversion can deal with files being renamed and/or moved, cvs can't. Subversion can versioncontrol directories, CVS can't.
+
+Notes:
+* to flag a file as executable use <tt>svn propset svn:executable on ''filename''</tt>
