Subversion
----------

`Subversion <http://subversion.tigris.org/>`__ (SVN for short) is the
tool the FreeBSD?Project uses for keeping its sources under control.
Every change (with an accompanying log message explaining its purpose)
is stored. It can be easily viewed from the web interface mentioned
below.

In June 2008, development of the base system migrated from CVS to
Subversion. The `web interface <https://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/base/>`__ is
available for browsing the repository.

In May 2012, the FreeBSD Documentation Project moved from CVS to
Subversion. There is a `web
interface <https://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/doc/>`__ available for browsing
the contents of the FreeBSD Documentation Project SVN repository.

In July 2012, the FreeBSD Ports tree moved from CVS to Subversion. There
is a `web interface <https://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/>`__ for browsing
the repository.

Other options
-------------

`CTM <../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ctm.html>`__ if you are
looking for very low overhead, batch-mode access (basically, patches
through email).
