A good read, presenting good knowledge, and good instruction.

While a beginner, I have been programming for a little while now and the time came for me to put my code into a repository. I was dreading it."version control with subversion" gently and quickly took me into using Subversion. I needed to read the first few chapters twice, after that I downloaded and installed the code, and viola, my code is version controlled with minimal effort.Subversion linked readily with my IDE, Netbeans, although subversion with different IDEs is not really covered in this book.Thanks to this book, I did not have take my mind of my main project for long.I read the rest of the book (skim reading some sections) and it provides clear instructions on other possibilities, and how to set up more complex and tailored systems.A good read, presenting good knowledge, and good instruction.My evidence is that I am now using Subversion well, whereas two weeks ago I had no clue.

I still struggle.

Lots of information but I still struggle with configuration. If you are a user of svn or setting up a client this is a good book.

Good reference for SVN specifics, especially the new version 1.5 features

I have been using CVS and SVN for more than 10 years. The enhanced merge feature in SVN 1.5 is a much needed capability. This book does a good job of describing branching and merging, what is really happening in SVN, and how to use SVN properly to meet our branching needs. That said, if you are doing multi-site, mostly independent multi-developer software development and haven't implemented a SCM system, I suggest you use GIT.

Top notch guide

This book is both an excellent way to learn Subversion from scratch and an invaluable reference guide to experienced users. The material in this book is on par with (and often better than) the material available in corporate "live, instructor-led" training courses. This book covers everything from the high-level, conceptual view of Subversion to command-line usage details to the low-level internal workings of the Subversion code. Best of all, the book is easy to read and the authors use just the right amount of diagrams and flow charts (enough to clear up any questions, but not so many as to be overwhelming or distracting). I can't imagine working on a Subversion-powered project without this book. Highly recommended

This is an excellent guide to Subversion

Although I had used other code repositories in the past, such as CVS and GIT, I needed to Subversion quickly for a new job. This book is organized to accomplish exactly what I needed. It starts with comparing the basic commands to other types of code repositories. More complex topics about how Subversion works are reserved for later chapters. This is an excellent guide to Subversion.

Clear and precise

spend too much effort on the history of CVS and SVN, which I would expected more discussion on the implementation and integration with modern development tools like Elipse and Maven

The book to get if you use SVN

Great learning and reference book. I moved from CVS to SVN, and this book was the best resource I could find to first learn from, then use as a reference for syntax and features. This THE book for SVN.

Good book, but out of date

I've used this book for many years. It has a good overview and lots of details on how to use subversion, but it is not out of date.The problem is that it was written for Subversion version 1.5, and three major releases have been released since then. (Version 1.8.1 was released in July, 2013.) There are many new features and many fixes for old bugs and performance in the newer releases. You'll be more effective if you get the current documentation online.
