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). 11
