Tutorial : Creating a SVN setup in Windows Vista/XP using Subversion,TortoiseSVN

What is SVN ? Why is it required ? You might be wondering. While developing applications for the web or any other area, most of us would be trying and testing the code on our local machines, sometimes it happens, while in the flow of coding, we tend to do some drastic changes to the sourcecode (atleast I do) only to find out that the application is not executing anymore after that. It becomes difficult to backtrack and eventually, we end up wasting a lot of time and energy, this is where SVN comes to our rescue.

Definition according to Wikipedia :
Subversion (SVN) is a version control system initiated in 2000 by CollabNet Inc. It is used to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly-compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS).
