    55'''Subversion; SVN:''' [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Link]
    6 * "A version control system that is a compelling replacement for CVS in the open source community."
    7 * It records the history and manages changes to a repository of files by multiple users.
    8 * The programmers have been using a similar system called CVS for some time to manage our source code, and with SVN we've now rolled this out to include all game binaries/assets too.
    9 * It takes care of ensuring that we don't overwrite each other's files when we commit files to it, and checks what you've already downloaded against what's in the repository so that it'll only download things that have changed since your last update.

    1515'''Repository:'''
    16 * Files are stored in a central repository. The repository is much like an ordinary file server, except that it remembers every change ever made to your files and directories. This allows you to recover older versions of your files and examine the history of how and when your data changed.
