Apache Subversion: Difference between revisions

Undid revision 1227814389 by 197.48.47.125 (talk) unexplained link removal; in particular, the one on revision control must be kept.
Removed "software versioning" (which was added in 393412409) as this is wrong (Subversion has nothing to do with version numbers given to software; revision numbers are just an internal part of version control). Also changed "revision control" to "version control", which is the title of the article and a term closer to the name "Subversion".

'''Apache Subversion''' (often abbreviated '''SVN''', after its command name ''svn'') is a [[software versioning]] and [[revisionversion 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.
