svn is short for "Subversion", then name of a source control/ versioning application, designed to replace CVS.
Sometimes confusingly, the term "svn" is used to refer to a) the application itself [1], and b) the repository in which code resides. (In this case, the Prototype code) There is a really good open source manual online. [3] ... also of interest, in the book "The Pragmatic Programmer" [4], the authors recommend using version control (particularly svn) for every project you work on, whether for school, personal use, or work.
