I. A FEW POINTERS

For an overview of the Subversion project, visit

https://subversion.apache.org/

Once you have a Subversion client you can get the latest version
of the code with the command:

$ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk subversion

II. DOCUMENTATION

The main documentation is the Subversion Book - an on-line version
can be found at:

https://svnbook.red-bean.com/

It is written in DocBook XML, and the sources can be found at:

https://svn.code.sf.net/p/svnbook/source/trunk/

If you wish to build the documentation from source, read the
en/README file within the book source.

III. PARTICIPATING IN THE SUBVERSION COMMUNITY

First, read https://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/
It describes Subversion coding and log message standards, as well
as how to join discussion lists.

Talk on IRC with developers: irc.libera.chat, channel #svn-dev.

Read the FAQ: https://subversion.apache.org/faq.html

IV. QUICKSTART GUIDE

See the final section of the first chapter of the Subversion Book.

V. CONVERTING FROM CVS

If you're a CVS user trying to move your CVS history over to
Subversion, then be sure to visit the 'cvs2svn' project:

https://github.com/mhagger/cvs2svn

If you are running a Linux or BSD-based system, your distribution
might have a cvs2svn package.

If cvs2svn doesn't meet your needs, you might try refinecvs
written by Lev Serebryakov:

http://lev.serebryakov.spb.ru/refinecvs/

Please note that cvs2svn and refinecvs are *separate* projects
from Subversion. If you have problems or are confused, contact
the authors, not the Subversion lists.

Finally, be sure to see Appendix B in the Subversion Book. It
contains a very quick overview of the major differences between
CVS and Subversion.
