1.4. Summary

We covered a number of fundamental Subversion concepts in this chapter:

• We introduced the notions of the central repository, the client working copy, and the array of repository revision trees.

• We saw some simple examples of how two collaborators can use Subversion to publish and receive changes from one another, using the "copy-modify-merge" model.

• We talked a bit about the way that Subversion tracks and manages information in a working copy.
