subversion? (was: [ODE] From unstable to trunk...)

[George Birbilis]

btw, for Windows the TortoiseSVN is very nice SVN client (also the 
TortoiseCVS for CVS), both available from tigris.org for free

there's also a big SVN book for download at tigris.org for those who want to 
learn all the details regarding SVN servers etc.
