Connection to the repository using different connection types
Repository browsing
Check-out
Synchronization
Commiting
Update
Resolving conflicts
Adding to the list of ignored resources

JavaSVN open-source library is used for interaction with Subversion. Having compared it with other tools that use JavaSVN, the Subversive team together with the JavaSVN team extended the standard Subversion API. This improvement gives Subversive an advantage if compared with other native and Java-based Subversion clients. The following solutions, now available in Subversive, are not present in other Subversion clients because of standard API limitations.
