Added {{Lead too short}} tag
Features: corrections: Subversion does support renames yet (internally, this cannot be distinguished from a copy + delete); clarification about metadata (that's just the executable status, as opposed to Unix permissions, and user-defined metadata).

==Features==
* [[Commit (data management)|Commits]] as true [[Atomicity (database systems)|atomic operations]] (interrupted commit operations in CVS would cause repository inconsistency or corruption).
* The system maintains [[Software versioning|versioning]] for directories, renamesfile [[File-system permissions|executable status]], and fileuser-defined [[metadata]] (but not for timestamps). Users can move and/or copy entire directory-trees very quickly, while retaining full revision history.
* Versioning of [[symbolic link]]s.
* Native support for binary files, with space-efficient binary-diff storage.
