SVK

SVK is a decentralized version control system written in Perl. It uses the Subversion filesystem but provides additional, powerful features.

SVK inherits the features from Subversion:

• Versioned directories
• Versioned renames
• Atomic commits
• Cheap branching and tagging

Also: (see SVKAbout if you are already familiar with Subversion)

• Distributed branches
• Lightweight checkout copy management (no CVS .svn directories)
• Advanced MergeFeatures
• Changeset signing and verification
