Introduction to Subversion
Introduction
Subversion is an open-source version control system. <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/">Visit the Subversion Homepage</a>. The Source server can easily host your project, please email <a href="http://www.ggy.bris.ac.uk/staff/staff_renaud.html">Jean-Philippe</a> or <a href="http://www.bridge.bris.ac.uk/people/gethin_williams.htm">Gethin</a> and they will be happy to add your project to Source.
Subversion provides very fine access control, so only those who you authorise can access your project. If your project is currently held under CVS, the <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/project_links.html">Subversion links page</a> lists several tools for converting CVS to Subversion repositories.
