Yesterday at ApacheCon I witnessed a significant milestone for CollabNet,
the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and Subversion. The
CollabNet-sponsored Subversion project and The Apache Software Foundation
(ASF) announced that the
... [More]
Subversion project has formally submitted itself
to the Apache Incubator in order to become part of the Foundation's
efforts. The announcement was greeted with a crescendo of applause at the
conference and with comments like ‘what a nice 10th birthday gift’. This
logical progression for Subversion comes as Apache and Subversion are
completing their first 10 years as open source communities. From a people
perspective, many of the same people founded and continue to work on both
projects. From a technology perspective, both projects utilize
capabilities of the other. In return this move is expected to benefit
Subversion and CollabNet by providing outreach into the large ASF
committer base and from their semi-annual developer events like today’s
ApacheCon that attracted an estimated 500 guests.
The transition for Subversion comes at a time when CollabNet’s
sponsorship has established Subversion as the market leading SCM product.
The ASF transition should help Subversion extend its position, that’s
right, extend its position. However, it crossed my mind that this move
might be perceived by some as an attempt to resurrect Subversion from a
downward activity trend. CollabNet and Subversion folks would say that
this is just not true, that Subversion is as strong as ever but is there
independent data to validate that? I decided to do some research of my
own by checking in at www.ohloh.net to gather some Subversion activity
metrics (thanks to the people over at Ohloh). Oh, and I added Git and
Mercurial to provide some additional color to my analysis. Here are some
interesting charts:
Code Commit Activity:
SVN-GIT-Mercurial commits
Line of Code Growth:
SVN-GIT-Mercurial codebase comparison
I’ll let you form your own conclusion but I believe that Subversion is as
strong as ever.
Next - my perspective on CollabNet and Subversion in 2010. [Less]

It’s no longer a secret, but now a public press release.
Not that this should shock anybody, but in case you didn’t know, now you
do. The overlap between Apache and Subversion communities has always been
huge since day one —
... [More]
with essentially identical cultures. We’ve talked
about doing this for years. It means we can finally dissolve the
‘Subversion corporation’ and let ASF handle all our finances and legal
needs.
“Why didn’t this happen sooner? Why now?”, you may ask. There are several
answers.
First, the intellectual property was scattered. Collabnet owned a huge
chunk of it, but so did other corporations and a large handful of other
random volunteers from the internet. The ASF requires software grants to
join, and we didn’t have our eggs in one basket.
Second, when the Subversion project first developed legal needs a few
years ago — and also started receiving money from Google’s Summer of Code
— it was relatively easy to set up our own non-profit. It gave us a place
for money to live, and an entity to defend the Subversion trademark from
a number of abusive third parties.
But over time, running our own non-profit turned out to be an awkward
time suck. So about a year ago I started focusing on collecting
Contributor License Agreements (CLAs) from both individuals and
corporations, including Collabnet itself. Once the IP was all
concentrated in the Subversion Corporation, it freed us up to move to the
ASF of dump all of the bureaucracy on them. :-)
So this announcement is also a bit of a point of pride for myself. I’ve
long stopped working on Subversion code, but I wanted to make sure the
project was parked in a good place before I could really walk away
guilt-free. I now feel like my “work is done”, and that the ASF will be
an excellent long-term home for the project. This is exactly what the ASF
specializes in: being a financial and legal umbrella for a host of
communities over the long haul. The project is in excellent hands now.
Of course, Collabnet has always been the main supplier of “human capital”
for the project in terms of full-time programmers writing code, and
that’s not going to change as far as I can see. Collabnet deserves huge
kudos for the massive financial investment (and risk) in funding this
project for nearly 10 years, and it seems clear they’re going to continue
to be the “center” of project direction and corporate support for years
to come. And this pattern isn’t uncommon either: the Apache HTTPD Server
itself is mostly made up of committers working on behalf of interested
corporations.
What’s interesting to me, however, are all the comments on the net about
how this is a “death knell” for Subversion — as though the ASF were some
sort of graveyard. That seems like a very typical viewpoint from the open
source universe — mistaking mature software like Apache or Subversion (or
anything not new and shiny) for “old and crappy”. In my opinion, the open
source world seems to ignore the other 90% of programmers working in tiny
software shops that utterly rely on these technologies as foundational.
Even though I’ve become a Mercurial user myself, I can assure you that
these other products aren’t going away anytime soon!
Hm. I smell another talk here. [Less]
