-Subversion is an open-source control version system that is a compelling replacement for CVS. At least the client version is installed by default on all our Linux machines, and can be easily installed on Macs via [[http://fink.sf.org|fink]] or [[http://www.macports.org|macports]].\\ +Subversion is an open-source control version system that is a compelling replacement for CVS.
