CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions
|
|
of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes
|
|
occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems, CVS
|
|
does not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a time,
|
|
but operates on hierarchical collections of directories consisting of
|
|
version controlled files. CVS helps to manage releases and to control
|
|
the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. CVS
|
|
allows triggers to enable/log/control various operations and works well
|
|
over a wide area network (see man pages).
