Subversion is considered to be a successor for CVS. Various open source tools with process support can be interfaced with Subversion trouble-free.
Various open source tools with process support can be interfaced to Subversion trouble-free. For years elego has worked with the Subversion project and successfully installed it on customer sites for many times.
Subversion is particularly attractive because of its possibility of integrating with various popular bug tracking and build management tools like Bugzilla, Mantis, Gnats, TRAC, and Tinderbox.
The most significant improvements in contrast to CVS are:
- enhanced versioning (directories, renaming, file attributes)
- atomic commits
- binary diff algorithm -> efficiently processes binary files and changes, -efficiently stores copies and branches
- properly set up client/server architecture
