Subversion (or SVN for short) is a versioning system. All the code is placed on one server (the repository). Every change is stored. You can always "roll back" to a previous version. You can also have multiple versions of the code, i.e.: when you have a release candidate 1 (RC 1) of your software, and you deliver it to the client, other people can start working on the next bleeding-edge version.
