Engineering Revision Control System

The Engineering Revision Control System uses subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after the command name svn) which is a software versioning and revision control system. This service is hosted by the Bachelor of Software Engineering program in the Faculty of Engineering.

Engineering users can use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation.

The University of Victoria Computer Science department also hosts several revision control services. More information here.
