Here’s a link to Subversion: The Definitive Guide, a free book about Subversion
There’s also an upcoming O’reilly book about Subversion
The goal of the Subversion project is to build a revision control system that is a compelling replacement for CVS in the open source community. The software is released under an Apache/BSD-style open source license.
What is Subversion?

What is WebDAV?
mechanism for distributed authoring over http
RFC2518
subversion partially implements DeltaV
alot of software now support WebDAV
Subversion+WebDAV
subversion includes an httpd 2.x module
– build on top of mod_dav

Ok, at this point the session the speaker is going fast. He’s basically,
going slide by slide and fielding a question here and there.
Subversion looks pretty cool but I get the impression that it still needs time
to mature a little. I think it’s worth researching. There’s alot of Python in here.
In Conclusion
subversion plays well with WebDAV
path-based authorization available
autoversioning allows for non-subversion clients to access the repository
svnadmin is an essential tools for admins
