12 Subversion is a version control system, which allows you to keep old
13 versions of files and directories (usually source code), keep a log of
14 who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like CVS, RCS or SCCS. Sub‐
15 version keeps a single copy of the master sources. This copy is called
16 the source ``repository''; it contains all the information to permit
17 extracting previous versions of those files at any time.
