questions regarding subversion

[Ryan Zielke <rz...@iphase.com>]

To Whom It May Concern:

 

My name is Ryan Zielke.  I am with Interphase Corp.  I have a couple of
unsolved questions regarding Subversion.  I was hoping you can respond to
them and email the answers back.

 

What is the best minimum bandwidth for running subversion?

Can subversion hold other file types that are not source code?

Can subversion control privileges on a per-user and/or per-project?

Does subversion have automatic source customization, automatic regression
testing, and/or automatic build procedures?

 

Thank You,

 

Ryan Zielke

The best bandwidth is the "most" bandwidth, obviously.  :-)

Subversion sends diffs in both directions between client and server.  It
was designed for slow, low-bandwidth WAN connections.

Yes.  Subversion treats all files as 'binary blobs'.  It doesn't know
what source code is.

Yes, and it can control access to individual directories within a
project, and even to branches and tags.

No, Subversion only tracks versions of files and directories.  It does
not edit, build, or test code.
