Apache Subversion actually started as "Inversion" around December
1999, or January 2000. It wasn't until April 2000, that we accepted
"Subversion" as a rename. It had "version" in the name, and we *were*
trying to subvert the CVS installations/community, so the name fit
extremely well :-)
It became "Apache Subversion" in February 2010.
Great story, thanks!
And if you want to know how to pronounce Subversion:

Hahaha, I still have copies of Linus saying the corresponding thing in
English and Swedish.
