Short: Concurrent version control system. V1.9.16 Author: Brian Berliner Type: dev/ade Version: 1.9.16 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Origin: Amiga Development Environment, ftp.ninemoons.com:pub/ade CVS is a freely available collection of programs that provide for software release and revision control functions. It is designed to work on top of the RCS distribution, V4 and later. CVS does understand how to parse older RCS formats, but cannot do any of the fancier features (like vendor branch support) without RCS branch support. CVS is a front end to the rcs(1) revision control system which extends the notion of revision control from a collection of files in a single directory to a hierarchical collection of directories consisting of revision controlled files. These directories and files can be combined together to form a software release. CVS provides the functions necessary to manage these software releases and to control the concurrent editing of source files among multiple software developers.
