DESCR revision 1.1
11.1SjwiseThis contains groff-formatted man pages for the CVS revision control
21.1Sjwisesystem. CVS is a version control system which allows you to keep old
31.1Sjwiseversions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why
41.1Sjwisechanges occurred, etc., like RCS  or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems,
51.1SjwiseCVS does not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a
61.1Sjwisetime, but operates on hierarchical collections of directories consisting
71.1Sjwiseof version controlled files. CVS helps to manage releases and to control
81.1Sjwisethe concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. CVS allows
91.1Sjwisetriggers to enable/log/control various operations and works well over a
101.1Sjwisewide area network (see man pages).
