Version Control with Subversion--New from O'Reilly
The Standard in Open Source Version Control

Sebastopol, CA--One of the biggest frustrations in software development is
version control: the art of managing changes to information. "Version
Control with Subversion, Second Edition" (O'Reilly Media, $39.99),
introduces the ideal versioning tool for managing a programming project or
any other team-based task involving shared documents. 

Written by members of the Subversion development team and updated for
Subversion 1.5, this is the official guide and reference manual for the
popular open source revision control technology.

"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. This essential manual covers every
aspect of installing, configuring, and using this open source technology.


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.

With this updated edition, you will:

- Understand the basic concepts behind version control
- Learn Subversion's capabilities and workflow with a complete guided
tour
- Comprehend complex topics such as branching and merging
- Master advanced features such as properties, externals definitions, and
changelists
- Receive step-by-step guidance on repository and server setup and
administration
- Discover context-sensitive tips for troubleshooting and get best
practice recommendations
- Get a complete reference to Subversion

If you've never used version control, this new edition has everything you
need to get started. If you're a seasoned user of other version control
systems, this book will help you make a painless transition to
Subversion.
