One of the greatest frustrations in most software projects is version control:
the art of managing changes to information. Today's increasingly fast pace of
software development--as programmers make small changes to software one day
only to undo them the next--has only heightened the problem; consecutive work
on code or single-programmer software is a rare sight these days. Without careful
attention to version control, concurrent and collaborative work can create more
headaches than it solves. This is where Subversion comes into play.
Written by members of the Subversion open source development team, Version
Control with Subversion introduces the powerful new versioning tool designed
to be the successor to the Concurrent Version System or CVS. CVS users will
find the "look and feel" Subversion comfortably familiar, but under the surface
it's far more flexible, robust, and usable, and more importantly, it improves
on CVS's more notable flaws.
The book begins with a general introduction to Subversion, the basic concepts
behind version control, and a guided tour of Subversion's capabilities and structure.
With thorough attention to detail, the authors cover every aspect of installing
and configuring Subversion for managing a programming project, documentation,
or any other team-based endeavor. Later chapters cover the more complex topics
of branching, repository administration, and other advanced features such as
properties, externals, and access control. The book ends with reference material
and appendices covering a number of useful topics such as a Subversion complete
reference and troubleshooting guide.
Version Control with Subversion aims to be useful to readers of widely
different backgrounds, from those with no previous experience in version control
to experienced sysadmins. If you've never used version control, you'll find
everything you need to get started in this book. And if you're a seasoned CVS
pro, this book will help you make a painless leap into Subversion.

time with his family. Mike has a degree in computer science and mathematics
from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
