User none gave you the technical answer. But, for those that don't follow...

There is basically a place where all the source code for the program is stored. This is known as a source control or version control system. It keeps track of all the changes that developers make to the program.

There can be divisions or separate areas (folders if you will)... actually they ARE like containers. Trunk is the "container" or "folder" in the source control where the approved code is kept. This is where the program is built from.

HTH too... I hope user none isn't upset that I added to his explanation.
