Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

Written by members of the development team that maintains Subversion, this is the official guide and reference manual for the popular open source revision control technology. The new edition covers Subversion 1.5 with a complete introduction and guided tour of its capabilities, along with best practice recommendations.

Version Control with Subversion is useful for people from a wide variety of backgrounds, from those with no previous version control experience to experienced system administrators.

Subversion is the perfect tool to track individual changes when several people collaborate on documentation or, particularly, software development projects. As a more powerful and flexible successor to the CVS revision control system, Subversion makes life so much simpler, allowing each team member to work separately and then merge source code changes into a single repository that keeps a record of each separate version.

Inside the updated edition Version Control with Subversion, you'll find:
  • An introduction to Subversion and basic concepts behind version control
  • A guided tour of the capabilities and structure of Subversion 1.5
    • Guidelines for installing and configuring Subversion to manage programming, documentation, or any other team-based project
  • Detailed coverage of complex topics such as branching and repository administration
  • Advanced features such as properties, externals, and access control
  • A guide to best practices
  • Complete Subversion reference and troubleshooting guide
If you've never used version control, you'll find everything you need to get started. And if you're a seasoned CVS pro, this book will help you make a painless leap into Subversion.

An Introduction to version control from its basics - Reviewed on 2007-12-25

Subversion, a successor to CVS is a widly used, novel approach to versioning of filesystems. Novelties to CVS are that versioning of the whole filesystem instead of single file, which made it possilble to have directories under version control, efficient storage of versioning meta-data, making it possible to have binary files under version control. The book itself introduces the basic concepts of version contol by focusing on the features of subversion. An extra chapter - in appendix - summerizes all the differences to CVS. This chapter is very welcome to people used to CVS who want to - or have to - get used to subversion. To me, as an assistant lecturer at the University of Miskolc, the book is going to be a textbook for stundents of software engineering to getting used to version control systems.

This is one of the only software books I've read cover to cover. It makes sense, it tells you thing in the right order: It gives you the big picture then goes into detail.

The authors are smart and this book makes you smart like them.

I went 15 years rarely using but not really understanding or trusting CVS. Now I run my own subversion server and love it.
Excellent for VCS Beginners and Experts - Reviewed on 2007-05-01

Looking to convert your CVS to Subversion? Want to know what VCS/Subversion is all about? What to know how to admin a Subversion system? Want a reference guide of the Subversion man pages in "dead-tree edition?"

This is your book.

From beginner to expert in VCS, this view into the Subversion solution will be the only thing you need on your shelf (unless you need extremely advanced/complicated setups). The book covers the basics and general administrative techniques/skills required for your day-to-day needs. It also covers, quite well, the setup of the core system (daemon running, HTTP-cooperative running, tunneling, etc.).

Definitely recommended for everyone.
A well-structured explanation of the subject for almost newbies. - Reviewed on 2007-04-05

As a previous cvs user (without much experience in it) I found the book extremely useful. I've learnt a lot.
This book is the book you need - Reviewed on 2006-07-05

If you want to understand subversion, this book will take you through all aspects and it will give you the knowledge you need to plan your own implementation.

The online version is good and for things you would like to have a better solution than what the book describes, looking them up in the current online book may show that the feature you wanted has already been implemented. However, the value of having your own paperback version cannot be overstated if you need to know the product well or you're responsible for planning an implementation of it.
