I. A FEW POINTERS
For an overview of the Subversion project, visit
http://subversion.apache.org/
Once you have a Subversion client you can get the latest version
of the code with the command:
$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk subversion
II. DOCUMENTATION
The main documentation is the Subversion Book - an on-line version
can be found at:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
It is written in DocBook XML, and the sources can be found at:
http://svnbook.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
If you wish to build the documentation from source, read the
src/en/README file within the book source.
III. PARTICIPATING IN THE SUBVERSION COMMUNITY
First, read http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/
It describes Subversion coding and log message standards, as well
as how to join discussion lists.
Talk on IRC with developers: irc.freenode.net, channel #svn-dev.
Read the FAQ: http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html
IV. QUICKSTART GUIDE
See the final section of the first chapter of the Subversion Book.
V. CONVERTING FROM CVS
If you're a CVS user trying to move your CVS history over to
Subversion, then be sure to visit the 'cvs2svn' project:
http://cvs2svn.tigris.org
You can get the latest released version of the cvs2svn converter
from the project downloads area:
http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=2976
Please note that the cvs2svn project is a *separate* project from
Subversion. If you have problems with cvs2svn or are confused,
please email the cvs2svn project's mailing lists, not the
Subversion lists.
Finally, be sure to see Appendix B in the Subversion Book. It
contains a very quick overview of the major differences between
CVS and Subversion.
