Description : CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is a version control system that can
: record the history of your files (usually, but not always, source
: code). CVS only stores the differences between versions, instead of
: every version of every file you have ever created. CVS also keeps a log
: of who, when, and why changes occurred.
:
: CVS is very helpful for managing releases and controlling the
: concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. Instead of
: providing version control for a collection of files in a single
: directory, CVS provides version control for a hierarchical collection
: of directories consisting of revision controlled files. These
: directories and files can then be combined together to form a software
: release.
