Subversion is an open-source version control system.It manages files placed in a central repository . This repository acts much like a file server, except that it remembers every change ever made to your files and directories. This allows you to recover older versions of your data, and see what developer has changed which file.

Update tickets from Subversion Comments

If ticket updates are enabled, you can update tickets by adding #ticket references in your comments. Use Closes #4 to close ticket 4. "closed", "close", "fix", "fixed", and "fixes" will also close a ticket. "Re #4", "references", "refs" and "see" will add a comment to the target ticket.“test #4” will mark the ticket to “Ready to Test” and add the comment to the ticket.

Subversion Clients

In order to use Subversion, you will first have to install a Subversion client . Free graphical client software, which may make Subversion easier to use, is available for most systems:

Trac provides software development teams with ticket for bugs and feature requests, roadmap planning, a wiki, and Subversion integration. Assembla adds team permissioning and email alert management to Trac. Assembla always installs Trac with Subversion because Subversion alerts link to the trac code and changeset browser.
