This is the README file for SVK, a decentralized version control

system.



The latest version could be found at



    http://svn.bestpractical.com/svk/trunk



You need Module::Install if you are not installing from release tarballs.



* About



While Subversion aims to take over the CVS user base, SVK attempts

to take over the others -- including people who are already using

other SCM systems, and people who had not started using SCM.



SVK is written in Perl, using Subversion's underlying filesystem

but provides additional features:



 * Offline operations like "checkin", "log", "merge".

 * Distributed branches.

 * Lightweight checkout copy management (no ".svn" directories).

 * Advanced merge algorithms, like "star-merge" and "cherry picking".



For more information, please visit the web site at http://svk.bestpractical.com/.



* Installation



To use SVK, you need Subversion version 1.0.4 or higher, compiled with

Perl bindings support.



SVK uses the standard perl module install process:



% perl Makefile.PL

% make

# make install



* Usage



You may want to start with the SVK tutorial, available on the web site.
