  Apache Subversion (SVN) is a centralized version control system that tracks
  changes to files and directories over time. It supports atomic commits, directory
  versioning, cheap branching and tagging, merge tracking, and binary file handling.
  SVN is served over HTTP/HTTPS using the WebDAV/DeltaV protocol via mod_dav_svn,
  or over a custom protocol using svnserve.

      DELETE, and PROPPATCH to perform version control operations including
      checkout, commit, update, log retrieval, and branching.
