Subversion

Apache Subversion (SVN) is a centralized version control system that tracks changes to files and directories over time. It supports atomic commits, directory versioning, cheap branching and tagging, merge tracking, and binary file handling. SVN is served over HTTP/HTTPS using the WebDAV/DeltaV protocol via mod_dav_svn, or over a custom protocol using svnserve.

Subversion publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Commits API, Files API, History API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Apache, Open Source, Repository, Source Control, and Svn.

The Subversion catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Subversion’s developer surface includes authentication, getting-started guide, FAQ, GitHub presence, and 9 more developer resources.
