We've covered a number of fundamental Subversion concepts in
this chapter:
-
We've introduced the notions of the central repository,
the client working copy, and the array of repository
revision trees.
-
We've seen some simple examples of how two collaborators
can use Subversion to publish and receive changes from one
another, using the “copy-modify-merge”
model.
-
We've talked a bit about the way Subversion tracks and
manages information in a working copy.
At this point, you should have a good idea of how Subversion
works in the most general sense. Armed with this knowledge, you
should now be ready to jump into the next chapter, which is a
detailed tour of Subversion's commands and features.
