Subversion. You can find out the exact URL to a particular part of the repository by browsing to it, for example by starting at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/ in a web browser. This is also a useful way to get to know the structure of our repository (the same repository is shared for all parts of the Derby project that is under version control).
For browsing the actual contents of the files in the repository, and for examining what was done when, by whom and in which checkins, you can use ViewVC, at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/db/derby/.
