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.
• MirrorVCP: VCP integration to support mirror/branch from alien version control systems like cvs or perforce transparently.

I want it! Can someone write a newbie starter pack for TWiki developers please? wink

Would a how-to be appropriate here, or in a new page? I would like to get something started, at least as far as I have gotten, let someone else finish/correct it.
