SVN Tutorial
Apache Subversion is commonly abbreviated as SVN. It is an open-source version control system developed by CollabNet Inc in 2000 and has since become a project under the Apache Software Foundation, as well as part of a rich community of developers and users.
SVN, compared to RCS and CVS, employs a branch management system. Its design goal is to replace CVS. Many free version control services on the internet are based on Subversion.

Subversion Usage
Although Subversion's user base was still much smaller than traditional CVS in 2006, many open-source groups had decided to switch from CVS to Subversion. Groups that have switched include FreeBSD, Apache Software Foundation, KDE, GNOME, GCC, Python, Samba, Mono, and many others. Many teams switched to Subversion because of the project management environment provided by Trac. Additionally, collaborative networks for free software development, such as SourceForge, now offer Subversion as a source code management system alongside CVS. JavaForge, Google Code, and BountySource use Subversion as their official source code management system.
