The Repository Layout
&TCAR; is supported by Subversion, a
version control system which allows you to keep old versions
of files and directories (usually source code), keep a log of
who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like CVS, RCS or
SCCS.
When using Subversion there is one source
repository
and many working copies
of
that source repository. The working copies are independent one
another, can be distributed all around the world and provide a
local place for designers, documentors, translators and
programmers to perform their work in a descentralized way.
The source repository, on the other hand, provides a central
place for all independent working copies to interchange data
and provides the information required to permit extracting
previous versions of files at any time.
&TCAR; is organized through a convenctional
trunk
, branches
and
tags
layout.
