Subversion (also known as svn) is a version control system designed specifically to replace CVS, which is considered to have many deficiencies. Version 1.0 of Subversion (released 23 February2004) offers the following features:
Most current CVS features
Directories, renames, and file metadata are versioned
AnkhSVN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnkhSVN) is a Visual Studio .NET addin. It allows you to perform the most common subversion operations from directly inside the VS.NET IDE.
gsvn (http://gsvn.tigris.org/) mostly abandoned by its original authors, due to lack of time; written entirely in python, using GTK
Other projects of note
The Open Source Trac project integrates Subversion, an Issue Tracker, and Wiki functionality into one web based interface.
The Open Source Subclipse (http://subclipse.tigris.org) project integrates Subversion into Eclipse.
The Open Source SVK project is a decentralized version control system written in Perl, permitting offline operations and advanced merging algorithms. It layers on the Subversion filesystem and its API.
While the general definition of the term "subversive" is: "intended to overthrow or undermine an established government", the word "government" can apply to many entities that exercise control over lives (not just one man imperial presidencies).
But you fail to note that since the 70s (the 1970s, not the 1770s), that "subversive" has been embraced by the Hard Left as meaning "those who want to overthrow the patriarachy, individualism, etc." (see wikipedia definition) and they wear it as a badge of honor.
That same portion no longer recognizes the relevance of the Bill of Rights, a document allegedly designed to protect their own fool selves, so it hardly matters to me what they think, given that they place far more credence than is warranted in the current band of cut throats that lead the country.
