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.
