Summary     : A Modern Concurrent Version Control System
Description :
Subversion is a concurrent version control system which enables one
or more users to collaborate in developing and maintaining a
hierarchy of files and directories while keeping a history of all
changes.  Subversion only stores the differences between versions,
instead of every complete file.  Subversion is intended to be a
compelling replacement for CVS.

Update Information:

This update includes the latest stable release of Subversion, including several
enhancements, many bug fixes, and a fix for a security issue:    Matt Lewis
reported multiple heap overflow flaws in Subversion (servers and clients) when
parsing binary deltas. Malicious users with commit access to a vulnerable server
could uses these flaws to cause a heap overflow on the server running
Subversion. A malicious Subversion server could use these flaws to cause a heap
overflow on vulnerable clients when they attempt to checkout or update,
resulting in a crash or, possibly, arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable
client. (CVE-2009-2411)    Version 1.6 offers many bug fixes and enhancements
over 1.5, with the notable major features:    - identical files share storage
space in repository  - file-externals support for intra-repository files  -
"tree" conflicts now handled more gracefully  - repository root relative URL
support on most commands    For more information on changes in 1.6, see the
release notes:    http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.6_releasenotes.html    This
update includes the latest release of Subversion, version 1.6.2.    Version 1.6
