Summary

The beauty of open source is that it makes code freely available. The curse is that, without some method of organizing it, code development can devolve into chaos. That's where revision control systems make 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. No nasty clashes, no lost work. The latest open source tool for revision control, Subversion 1.0 is the heir apparent to CVS, its predecessor, and this new book-written by members of the Subversion open source development team-describes the means to install and configure Subversion for managing a programming project, documentation, or any other team-based endeavour.

Author Biography

Ben Collins-Sussman is one of the original designers and authors of Subversion. He currently works for CollabNet as a Subversion developer and community leader. He has a degree in Mathematics from the University of Chicago, and his home page can be found at http://www.red-bean.com/sussman. When away from his computer, he moonlights as a musical theater composer at theaters around Chicago. He lives with his lovely wife and three cats, and can be found practicing his banjo on sunny afternoons.

C. Michael Pilato (Mike) is a leader in the Subversion community, and a core developer of both Subversion and ViewCVS. He is currently employed by CollabNet, where he spends his days (and many nights) improving Subversion and other tools with which it integrates. When he's not programming, Mike enjoys composing and performing music, freelance graphic design work, hiking, and spending quality time with his wife and son. Mike holds a degree in computer science and mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He maintains a personal website at http://cmichaelpilato.com/.
