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