About:
CVS is a version control system that allows multiple developers to work on the same project files concurrently. It tracks changes, maintains a history of revisions, and enables branching and merging. While largely superseded by modern systems like Git, it remains useful for maintaining legacy projects.
Key Features:
  • Concurrent development model
  • Revision history and branching
  • Client-server architecture
  • Open source and widely ported
Use Cases:
  • Maintaining legacy software projects
  • Collaborative development over a network
Alternatives:
  • Git – Distributed version control with superior branching and performance
  • Subversion (SVN) – Centralized VCS with better atomic commits and directory versioning
