11.1SjwiseCVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions
21.1Sjwiseof files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes
31.1Sjwiseoccurred, etc., like RCS  or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems, CVS
41.1Sjwisedoes not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a time,
51.1Sjwisebut operates on hierarchical collections of directories consisting of
61.1Sjwiseversion controlled files. CVS helps to manage releases and to control
71.1Sjwisethe concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. CVS
81.1Sjwiseallows triggers to enable/log/control various operations and works well
