'''Apache Subversion''' (often abbreviated '''SVN''', after its command name ''svn'') is a [[software versioning]] and [[revision control]] system distributed as [[Open-source software|open source]] under the [[Apache License]].<ref>{{cite web |year=2020 |title=Subversion |url=https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Subversion#tab=Details |access-date=3 October 2023 |website=directory.fsf.org |publisher=[[Free Software Directory]] |language=en-US}}</ref> Software developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as [[source code]], web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used [[Concurrent Versions System]] (CVS).
 
The [[Open-source software|open source]] community has used Subversion widely: for example, in projects such as [[Apache Software Foundation]], [[FreeBSD]], [[SourceForge]], and from 2006 to 2019, [[GNU Compiler Collection|GCC]]. [[CodePlex]] was previously a common host for Subversion repositories.
