CVS

    (CVS) A cross-platform code management
   system originally based on RCS.

   CVS tracks all revisions to a file in an associated file with
   the same name as the original file but with the string ",v"
   (for version) appended to the filename.  These files are
   stored in a (possibly centralised) repository.

   Changes are checked in or "committed" along with a comment (which
   appears in the the "commit log").  CVS has the notions of
   projects, branches, file locking and many others needed to
   provide a full-functioned repository.

   It is commonly accessed over over its own "anonCVS" protocol for
   read-only access (many open source projects are available by
   anonymous CVS) and over the SSH protocol by those with commit
   privileges ("committers").

   CVS has been rewritten several times and does not depend on
   RCS.  However, files are still largely compatible; one can
   easily migrate a project from RCS to CVS by copying the
   history files into a CVS repository.  A sub-project of the
   OpenBSD project is building a complete new implementation of
   CVS, to be called OpenCVS.
