Practical Subversion, Second Edition draws on the experience of its
authors, Daniel Berlin and Garrett Rooney—both Subversion project members—to
guide you through a complete introduction to this popular code management solution.
And this edition has been updated to reflect the most recent changes to the
popular Subversion version control system. After a crash course on Subversion’s
key features, including a theme project that you’re encouraged to follow,
you’ll explore best practices, migration tips for moving from other versioning
solutions, Subversion integration, and an overview of the Subversion APIs.
Effective developers and system administrators alike understand that their
success is related to their ability to manage the dozens, sometimes hundreds,
of files that they come into contact with on a regular basis. This file management
includes determining a file’s changes over time, accommodating simultaneous
edits by multiple users, and even reverting a file to an earlier version if
a mistake or deletion has been made. Capitalizing on such capabilities requires
a version control system like Subversion. You’ll want to pick up a copy
of this book because it is
- The most up-to-date book on the popular Subversion version control system
- Authored by two Subversion project contributors
- More than a mere introduction, covering best practices, migration issues,
and more effective versioning through tool integration
About the Authors
Daniel Berlin works in Washington, D.C., for Google as a member of its technical
staff and as a lawyer. Prior to his work with Google, Berlin was an advisory
engineer with IBM Research in New York, where he worked on open source projects
such as Subversion and GCC. He was responsible for a number of improvements
to the source code base of Subversion, including a new delta storage algorithm
and various caching improvements to the file system back end.
Berlin earned a law degree from the George Washington University School of
Law and a bachelor of science degree in computer science from the University
of Rochester.
Garrett Rooney is a software engineer on the version control team at CollabNet,
where he works full time on Subversion and other related technologies. Rooney
attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he managed to complete three
years towards a mechanical engineering degree before coming to his senses and
realizing he wanted to get a job where someone would pay him to play with computers.
Since then, Rooney completed a computer science degree at RPI and has spent
far too much time working on a wide variety of open source projects, most notably
Subversion. He's also a member of the Apache Software Foundation, where he works
on the Apache Portable Runtime and the Apache HTTP Server, as well as helps
to maintain the ASF Subversion repository.
