What is a subversion how to use?

 

Subversion (normally called as  SVN), is a "version control system" like VSS(Visual Source safe) ,TFS(Team Foundation Server) and IBM Clearcase. Subversion is installed in Server, and can be accessed thru the "clients" like TortoiseSVN etc.

 

Hope this helps!

Subversion is a version control system (like TFS, GIT). You need a server running SVN so clients can connect to it to perform updates.
