No, I didn't "destroy someone's (or some group's) honesty or loyalty" today. Subversion (SVN) is a file versioning system. It's intended to replace CVS which is old and ugly. SVN is fairly stable now, but I'd never really read about how awesome it is compared to CVS. A few big differences from CVS, such as version numbers and branching, but just the fact that it handles "copy" commands and directories is a enough of a Good Thing to make me want to try it. I've got it up and running (mostly) on my gentoo box. Haven't got permissions really worked out yet though. I'm going to use it to host some of my personal projects (e.g. websites).
