Using Subversion

Subversion is an open source version control system.

In addition to the standard version control system functions described in Using Common Functions, you can select Tools > Subversion > Describe to display commit log messages for a revision.

You can use Git as a client for a Subversion server. For more information, see Using Git with Subversion.
