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