Creating a local version control repository

Version control is an important part of any code development project. Version control keeps track of a project's history, provides full and organized backups, and easily rolls back changes in order to get back to a known working state. Version control is also the best and most efficient way to share code and other files when developing a project in a team environment. In addition to being a great version control system that is easy to use and configure, Subversion (often referred to as SVN) is also the technology that manages all submissions on the official WordPress plugin directory. Therefore, by setting up and using a local Subversion repository during your initial plugin development, you will immediately be ready to share your creations with the community. We'll be covering the most commonly used Subversion commands in this recipe.
