Product Description

Written by members of the development team that maintains Subversion, this is the official guide and reference manual for the popular open source revision control technology. The new edition covers Subversion 1.5 with a complete introduction and guided tour of its capabilities, along with best practice recommendations. "Version Control with Subversion" is useful for people from a wide variety of backgrounds, from those with no previous version control experience to experienced system administrators. Subversion is the perfect tool to track individual changes when several people collaborate on documentation or, particularly, software development projects. As a more powerful and flexible successor to the CVS revision control system, Subversion makes life so much simpler, allowing each team member to work separately and then merge source code changes into a single repository that keeps a record of each separate version.Inside the updated edition "Version Control with Subversion", you'll find: an introduction to Subversion and basic concepts behind version control; a guided tour of the capabilities and structure of Subversion 1.5 ; guidelines for installing and configuring Subversion to manage programming, documentation, or any other team-based project; detailed coverage of complex topics such as branching and repository administration; advanced features such as properties, externals, and access control; and, a guide to best practices. It is a complete Subversion reference and troubleshooting guide. If you've never used version control, you'll find everything you need to get started. And if you're a seasoned CVS pro, this book will help you make a painless leap into Subversion.

From the Publisher

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for users and admins, 6 Nov 2005

By	Neil Ford "Neil" (London) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Version Control with Subversion (Paperback)

This is an excellent book on Subversion. It covers all the core operations for end users and has plenty of content for administrators. Like Subversion the tool, the book is elegant and simple. I don't think I need to add any more except that if you're thinking about using Subversion then don't hesitate to try it: its a great tool, a very worthy replacement for CVS (and some of terrible source control systems you have to pay good money for). This book will help you get up to speed very quickly - its especially useful for those migrating from CVS.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, 17 Jul 2007

By	rowan tree (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Version Control with Subversion (Paperback)

I have this and the Pragmatic one. I think the Pragmatic one is the better book, it's much more readable but then I think this one becomes more of a reference book.

So, if you can't make your mind up, go for the Pragmatic one. For the best of both worlds, get both!

4.0 out of 5 stars More detail than the Pragmatic book, 21 Mar 2009

By	J. S. Hardman "Consultant software developer ... (Near London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read "Pragmatic Version Control: Using Subversion" before reading "Version Control with Subversion". For most people, I would say that is the correct order in which to approach these two books. The Pragmatic book is much more readable, but "Version Control with Subversion" goes into greater depth, answering some of the questions that the Pragmatic book doesn't. It still contains tutorial material, but also feels like a more authoritative reference.

Most developers think reading about version control is a waste of their time (surely they should be reading about C# or Python or the latest webby thing instead?). I disagree with that - there is little point developing fantastic code if you then lose your greatest work because version control isn't being used correctly. However, I am also realistic about how much time most developers can be persuaded to spend reading about subjects such as version control. Therefore, I would suggest that most developers on a team using Subversion should read the Pragmatic book, as that will give them enough detail to do what they need to, but without being too long or being heavy to read. However, I think it is worth a couple of developers at each site spending the extra time required to also read "Version Control with Subversion" in order to sort out the organisation and practices to follow at that site, including development of any scripts that might be required to support those practices. "Version Control with Subversion" gives extra detail about the differences between version 1.4 and 1.5 of Subversion, more detail on the pros and cons of using properties, use of externals etc. Most developers don't need to know these things, but a few do.

So, a good book, a bit heavier to read than the Pragmatic book, but still worth the effort for those developers who need to get involved in version control a bit more deeply.

It's quite a good book.
First chapters are really for VC beginners, and the second part is quite useful for installing, configuring and maintaing a SVN server. Read more
