The CAPE Subversion System serves as both a version control system and a central repository for important design documents and software. The basis of this system is the database driven Subversion (sometimes referred to as SVN) software. Subversion provides both the host and client software for creating and accessing a local or remote repository. The Subversion host software automatically handles version incrementing as well as maintaining a history of the repository. Need to take a look at a file from three days ago that has been changed seven times since? Subversion can handle it.
