: '''[[wikipedia:Subversion (software)|Subversion]]''' (SVN) is a version control software that allows users to download the very latest version of a branch, without having to wait for someone to get around to packaging it. Advantages to using Subversion include the latest version, vastly simplified updating, the ability to roll back an upgrade, the ability to create and [[mediazilla:|submit patches]].
* [[mediawikiwiki:Download from SVN#Upgrading_and_downgrading|Upgrading / Downgrading MediaWiki Using Subversion]]
: Upgrading between releases with SVN is simple. If you have direct access to the command-line on the server, you can enter the commands directly; alternatively, you can maintain a copy on a local machine and upload updated versions to the server.

; Why you might want to use it
:- The network protocol is stateful and noticeably faster than WebDAV.
:- You can take advantage of existing SSH accounts and user infrastructure.
:-  All network traffic is encrypted.
; Why you might want to avoid it
:- Only one choice of authentication method is available.
:- No advanced logging facilities.
:- It requires users to be in the same system group, or use a shared SSH key.
:- If used improperly, it can lead to file permission problems.

==== [http://sleepyhead.de/howto/?href=svn Simple How-Tos: SVN] ====
'''Note to [[User:WikiMaster|Self]]:''' Refer to [http://sleepyhead.de/howto/?href=svn entire documentation] before doing anything.
; [http://sleepyhead.de/howto/?href=svn#svnsetup Server setup]
: The initiation of the repository is fairly simple (here for example /home/svn/ must exist): 
 <code># svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /home/svn/project1</code>
; [http://sleepyhead.de/howto/?href=svn#svnssh Remote access with ssh]
: No special setup is required to access the repository via ssh, simply replace file:// with svn+ssh/hostname. For example: 
 <code># svn checkout svn+ssh://hostname/home/svn/project1</code>

* [http://csoft.net/docs/svn.html.en Subversion access with svn+ssh]
: The most basic method to access a Subversion repository is the '''svn+ssh protocol'''. As its name indicates, this protocol speaks to the SVN server via [http://csoft.net/docs/ssh.html SSH]. Your SVN client must be provided an URL of the form:
:: <code>svn+ssh://user@ssh.yourdomain.com/path</code>
:: <code>svn+ssh://user@server.csoft.net/path</code>
: Unlike the [http://csoft.net/docs/svnserve.html svnserve] and [http://csoft.net/docs/svndav.html http DAV] protocols, '''svn+ssh''' requires the use of real Unix accounts and Unix file permissions. Extra Unix accounts with a restrict svn+ssh shell can be configured from the [http://www.csoft.net/docs/cadm/index.html.en shell interface] or web interface. You will generally want to configure SSH public keys for passwordless authentication as well. Additional Unix groups are configurable in the same manner. Users can be granted read-only or read-write access on whole repositories with [http://resin.csoft.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?sektion=1&topic=chmod chmod] and [http://resin.csoft.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?sektion=1&topic=chgrp chgrp].
