Subversion, or svn for short, is a newish version control system. It is similar to cvs in principle but kicks ass in every possible way.

[edit] What is version control
Version control is simply the process of keeping track of changes. Each change can be considered a version, thus keeping track of changes between versions, or version control. I guess you can also see this as "change control", albeit that change control is something different (think corporates, beaurocracy and lots of paperwork).
[edit] Why svn?
Well, because it's one of the best version control systems out there, has support for both UNIX and Windows and it just works. Additionally svn has much less space requirements than cvs.
