      <application>Subversion</application> is a version control system that is
      designed to be a compelling replacement for <application>CVS</application>
      in the open source community. It extends and enhances
      <application>CVS</application>' feature set, while maintaining a similar
      interface for those already familiar with <application>CVS</application>.
      These instructions install the client and server software used to
      manipulate a <application>Subversion</application> repository. Creation of
      a repository is covered at <xref linkend="svnserver"/>.
