I thought some people might want to know what SVN is and at the same time learn a bit of BoonEx Trac.
SVN:
Subversion (SVN) is a version control system initiated in 2000 by CollabNet Inc. It is used to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly-compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS).
Subversion is well-known in the open source community and is used on many open source projects, including Apache Software Foundation, KDE, Free Pascal, FreeBSD, GCC, Python, Django, Ruby, Mono, SourceForge.net, ExtJS and Tigris.org. Google Code also provides Subversion hosting for their open source projects. BountySource systems use it exclusively. Codeplex offers access to both Subversion as well as other types of clients.
Subversion is also being adopted in the corporate world. In a 2007 report by Forrester Research, Subversion was recognized as the sole leader in the Standalone Software Configuration Management (SCM) category and a strong performer in the Software Configuration and Change Management (SCCM) category.

As a sample, if you go to
http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/browser/trunk/admin/templates/base
and look at the age you will see when it got last modified. Which means
to us that we should look into those files or Download.
Its a lot of work since you need to download each file, but it gets you going a little faster :-)
You will find the download of each file below each file as Plain Text or Original Format.
