Summary

SVN or Apache Sub-Versioning (formerly Sub-Versioning),1 was developed as a replacement to CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) due to issues with CVS. Because of these issues, Collabnet Inc., a company that specializes in lifecycle management software2, decided not to amend CVS, but develop a new concept of versioning control. With the assistance of Karl Fogel, co-author of Open Source Development With CVS3, and Jim Blandy, SVN came into being.
