<title>Version control</title>
</header>
<body>
<p>
The version control system Subversion is used by all ASF projects to
manage their source code and other resources.
</p>
<p>
The "trunk" is where the main development happens. From time-to-time
"branches" are used for specific short-term development tasks and later
merged to trunk.
</p>
<p>
Developers can browse the trunk via
<a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/forrest/">direct access</a> or
via the <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/forrest/trunk">ViewVC web
interface</a>. Similarly branches can be browsed (go up one level).
</p>
<p>
For every change, a notification email is automatically sent to the
<a href="site:mail-lists">svn@ mailing list</a>. Subscribe to that list or
search the archives to keep up-to-date with changes.
</p>
<p>
Developers can work with the most recent sources rather than a released
version, follow the <a href="site:build">instructions</a> to checkout your
working copy.
</p>
<p>
See other <a href="site:svnBP">best practice notes</a>.
