NAME
       svnadmin - Subversion repository administration tool

SYNOPSIS
       svnadmin command /path/to/repos [options] [args]

OVERVIEW
       Subversion is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files and
       directories (usually source code), keep a log of who,  when,  and  why  changes  occurred,
       etc.,  like CVS, RCS or SCCS.  Subversion keeps a single copy of the master sources.  This
       copy is called the source ``repository'';  it  contains  all  the  information  to  permit
       extracting previous versions of those files at any time.

       For more information about the Subversion project, visit http://subversion.apache.org.
