It is a centralized version control system whereas Git is a distributed version control system (see for example Wikipedia [1]).I The reason I ask is that I was looking at svn log in order to figure out > how to > see what had happened earlier on the project. > > There are two different ways: > 1) Connect to the server and get the log info: > svn log -v <URL> > This version is useful if you have not checked out a particular URL, for example if you want to look at a specific branch (which, in SVN, is just another directory). 2) Run the command in the working copy dir: > svn log -v > > I don't know if the second incarnation will only get whatever I have done > myself > when working on the project or if it somehow can show the complete log > history. > It would connect to the repository (at the server or in the local file system, if you are using file://) and fetch the log.

The above applies to the command line client. Other clients may implement caching on their own. For example TortoiseSVN has a "log cache" and will offer to use the log cache so show the log if the server is unreachable. This is in the GUI client but if could of course be extended to a command line as well. Kind regards Daniel Sahlberg 1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_version_control
