    33Subversion 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 code lives on hosted-projects, and users pull the most recent version to their local machines, use it, making modifications as needed, then may push their changes back to hosted projects.

     56 * Everything happens at the folder level- Svn doesn’t operate on single files.
     57 * Use svn tools to copy files into or our of a svn directory so the change can be tracked- the change will propagate to the repository on the next commit
     58 * The .svn directory in each project main directory keeps track of where the repository is, so you don’t have to say where to put commits, it puts them where it got them.
