Subversion is an SCM designed to be an easy replacement for CVS, while addressing some of its shortcomings.

Here are some reasons why Gnome chose Subversion as a replacement for CVS after nearly 10 years:

• Directories, renames, and file meta-data are versioned
• Commits are truly atomic
• Branching and tagging are cheap (constant time) operations
• Natively client/server, layered library design
• Client/server protocol sends diffs in both directions
• Costs are proportional to change size, not data size
• Versioning of symbolic links
• Efficient handling of binary files
• Parseable output
• Localized messages
