        &TCAR; is supported by 
3c5068
        url="http://subversion.tigris.org/">Subversion</ulink>, a
3c5068
        version control system which allows you to keep old versions
3c5068
        of files and directories (usually source code), keep a log of
3c5068
        who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like CVS, RCS or
3c5068
        SCCS.

        &TCAR; is made of one <quote>source repository</quote> and
3c5068
        many <quote>working copies</quote> of that source repository.
3c5068
        The working copies are independent one another, can be
3c5068
        distributed all around the world and provide a local place for
3c5068
        designers, documentors, translators and programmers to perform
3c5068
        their work in a descentralized way.  The source repository, on
3c5068
        the other hand, provides a central place for all independent
3c5068
        working copies to interchange data and provides the
3c5068
        information required to permit extracting previous versions of
3c5068
        files at any time.
