'Practical Subversion, Second Edition' draws on the experience of its authors, Daniel Berlin and Garrett Rooney-both Subversion project members-to guide you through a complete introduction to this popular code management solution. And this edition has been updated to reflect the most recent changes to the popular Subversion version control system. After a crash course on Subversion's key features, including a theme project that you're encouraged to follow, you'll explore best practices, migration tips for moving from other versioning solutions, Subversion integration, and an overview of the Subversion APIs. Effective developers and system administrators alike understand that their success is related to their ability to manage the dozens, sometimes hundreds, of files that they come into contact with on a regular basis. This file management includes determining a file's changes over time, accommodating simultaneous edits by multiple users, and even reverting a file to an earlier version if a mistake or deletion has been made. Capitalizing on such capabilities requires a version control system like Subversion.
