Version Control with Subversion

Next Generation Open Source Version Control

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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

- A guide to best practices

- 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.

Rezensionen

"Fazit: Das Buch eignet sich sehr gut, wenn man Subversion als Benutzer oder auch als (zukünftiger) Admin eines Subversion-Servers kennenlernen will - und dabei wird nicht vorausgesetzt, daß man schon ein alter Hase auf dem Gebiet der Versionskontrolle ist. Die Autoren haben sich aus eigenem Interesse darum bemüht, eine gute Dokumentation zu schreiben, da dieses Buch bzw. der Text auch als Dokumentation zu Subversion dient.

Die Erläuterungen im Buch gehen zwar eher auf die Unix-Welt ein, Windows bzw. die Konfiguration unter Windows wird aber nicht "verschwiegen".

Das Buch beantwortet auch Fragen, die man sich stellt, wenn man von CVS zu Subversion kommt. Zum Beispiel: Wenn alle Dateien im Repository die gleiche Revisionsnummer haben - wie finde ich dann den Stand bzw. die Revisionsnummer einer Datei vor der letzten Änderung? (Dazu gibt es - abgesehen vom Logfile der Datei - Revision Keywords oder auch svn status -- verbose.) Gefallen hat mir auch, daß ein paar Entscheidungen wie zum Beispiel für die Berkeley DB im Text begründet werden." -- Sebastian Inacker, Linux UserGroup Freiburg, Juli 2004
