This book covers the theory behind version control and how it can help developers become more efficient, work better as a team, and keep on top of software complexity. All projects need version control: it's the lifeblood of any project's infrastructure, yet half of all project teams in the U.S. don't use any version control at all. Many others don't use it well, and end up experiencing time-consuming problems.
Version Control, done well, is your "undo" button for the project: nothing is final, and mistakes are easily rolled back. This book describes Subversion, the latest and hottest Open Source version control system, using a recipe-based approach that will get you up and running quickly--and correctly.
Learn how to use Subversion the right way--the pragmatic way.
With this book, you can:
Keep all project assets safe--not just source code--and never run the risk of losing a great idea - Know how to undo bad decisions--even directories and symlinks are versioned - Learn how to
share code safely, and work in parallel for maximum efficiency - Install Subversion and organize, administer and backup your repository - Share code over a network with Apache, svnserve, or ssh - Create and manage releases, code branches, merges and bug fixes - Manage 3rd party code safely.
Now there's no excuse not to use professional-grade version control.

"Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion ist eine gute und dabei nicht zu umfangreiche Einführung in die Versionskontrolle mit Subversion. Zielgruppe sind durch die praxisorientierte Herangehensweise des Buches Anwender, die mit Unix oder Windows als Betriebssystem auf der "Client-Seite" sitzen, d.h. die mit Subversion ihre Projektdaten verwalten wollen. - Leserrezension von Sebastian Inacker, Freiburger Linux Usergroup, 04/2005
