What is an SVN file?

SVN files mostly belong to Subversion. SVN files are used by the Subversion version control system to hold administrative data and metadata. These files (often found in hidden directories) contain information about file versions, commit histories, and revision details, ensuring the system keeps a correct and up‐to-date copy of the repository.
In some contexts, they are also known as SvanPC data files. However, the primary function is to serve as the internal backbone for managing a working copy in Subversion.
Key aspects:

Stores version control metadata

Tracks file revisions and commit data

Automatically maintained by the system

Not meant for manual editing

How to open SVN files

You need a suitable software like Subversion to open an SVN file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SVN file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SVN file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Subversion (File/Directory) by openCollabNet
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 .svn files may be inserted into the source code tree and there is also usually a top-level directory named .svn (just the extension, no root name).
