Acknowledgments

This book would not be possible (nor very useful) if Subversion did not exist. For that, the authors would like to thank Brian Behlendorf and CollabNet for the vision to fund such a risky and ambitious new open source project; Jim Blandy for the original Subversion name and design—we love you, Jim; and Karl Fogel for being such a good friend and a great community leader, in that order.^[4]

Thanks to O'Reilly and the team of professional editors who have helped us polish this text at various stages of its evolution: Chuck Toporek, Linda Mui, Tatiana Apandi, Mary Brady, and Mary Treseler. Your patience and support has been tremendous.

Finally, we thank the countless people who contributed to this book with informal reviews, suggestions, and patches. An exhaustive listing of those folks' names would be impractical to print and maintain here, but may their names live on forever in this book's version control history!

^[4]Oh, and thanks, Karl, for being too overworked to write this book yourself.
