----

Subversion is a version control system. 
Also it is an attempt to improve CVS at least for:

  * implement transactional commit
  * allow directory have a version
  * fast creation of branches/tags
  * allow renaming with saving change history 

Unfortunately it also has drawbacks if compared to CVS:

  * each file has version of total repository, not own version number
  * branches do not have clear version numbers 

*To Do*

Subversion server is installed under google authority. 
Development environment should contain Subversion client. Steps to setup console client and optionally GUI client:

  #. Install console Subversion client Slik SVN 1.6.2 from http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download
  #. (optional) Now you can download sources (but will not be able to change them) using command line (as a project member you will you another download command): 
{{{
svn checkout http://usvn.ahuman.org/svn/ahengine/trunk_HLAv3/ ahuman-read-only
}}}
  #. (optional) Install TortoiseSVN 1.6.2 from http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads if you want to look into version information using Windows Explorer 
  #. To download code to permanent storing or changes, use command, described at http://code.google.com/p/ahuman/source/checkout, where google will provide you with a link to the page containing your personal password

*Possible Enhancements*

In the current development environment IDE is detached from version control client. It is not good enough. Possible actions are - find Subversion plug-in for Visual C++ or upgrade VC++ to Eclipse where I know such a plug-in exists.
