Preface
assume the reader is using a Unix-like operating system, and is relatively comfort-
able with Unix and command-line interfaces.
That said, the
svn program also runs on non-Unix platforms, such as Microsoft Win-
dows. With a few minor exceptions, such as the use of backward slashes (
\) instead
of forward slashes (
/) for path separators, the input to and output from this tool
when run on Windows are identical to its Unix counterpart. However, Windows
users may find more success by running the examples inside the Cygwin Unix emula-
tion environment.
We assume our readers are programmers or sysadmins who need to track changes to
source code. This is the most common use for Subversion, and therefore it is the sce-
nario underlying all of the book’s examples. But Subversion can be used to manage
changes to any sort of information: images, music, databases, documentation, and so
on. To Subversion, all data is just data.
While this book is written with the assumption that the reader has never used ver-
sion control, we’ve also tried to make it easy for users of CVS to make a painless leap

appendix summarizes most of the differences between CVS and Subversion.
