An Introduction to Revision Control Systems

What is Revision Control?

A revision control system maintains a central repository of files (often source code) which are intended to be editable by a selected group of persons. It stores past versions and information about who modified what at which time. You can read more about it here.

Available Version Contol Systems

Currently we have installed Subversion on all our platforms. Subversion is the de-facto replacement of the well-known CVS version control system. CVS is also available in our environment, but we plan to completely replace the CVS repositories with Subversion ones in the long term.
