    33Subversion (Svn) is a tool for managing software development that keeps track of who modified what and allows returning to a previous version if changes don't do what was expected.  All the files are stored on hosted-projects in a repository named roms_sed. Users pull the most recent version to their local machines with a Svn client, use the code, making modifications as needed, then may push their changes back (again using the client) to the repository on hosted-projects.

    28 You only check out once, after that, a hidden directory called .svn exist that keep track of the source, destination and a bunch of other information.  So to commit your changes back to the repository, cd into a local dir under subversion control (/home/mydir/code/roms_sed or below) and enter: {{{svn commit}}}.  For more detail on command line use and syntax, see the [http://svnbook.red-bean.com svn book].
