< < | CVS is the Concurrent Versions System, a tool for source code revision control. The CVS home page is at http://www.cvshome.org/ and the User's Guide (also called the "Cederqvist Manual" because it was written by a guy named Per Cederqvist) is at http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/doc/cvs_toc.html. A book called "Open Source Development With CVS" is partially online. The parts that are online seem to overlap substantially with the Cederqvist book but might be useful: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html | |||||||

The parts that are online seem to overlap substantially with the Cederqvist book but might be useful: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.htm CVS is fundamentally a UNIX program, but there are several different clients available. WinCVS is the most commonly used, but it's not very easy for non-technical people to use. At a couple of shops I've worked at we used CVS for code and Microsoft's VSS for documents. This is a bad idea for a lot of reasons, not least of which is that it requires you to use Windows to access version control. That's why I'm really excited about TortoiseCVS http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ which is a very well-designed Windows interface for CVS. It plugs into the Windows File Explorer so there's no new UI to learn; you perform version control operations from within a tool that everybody already knows how to use. Cool! | |||||||
arch is another version control system that attempts to fix the problems in CVS while adding new features. It's had an interesting life so far; the primary developer went bust while writing it and it's since been picked up by other folks. http://www.fifthvision.net/open/bin/view/Arch |
