Concurrent Versions System (CVS) provides a production level version control system, an important component of the Source Configuration Management (SCM) of any project. While CVS meets a similar need to the free software RCS and PRCS, it offers the following significant advantages:

CVS supports custom scripts, enabling you to log operations or enforce policies.
A client/server architecture aids distributed teams.
Vendor branches permit individuals and teams to maintain their own file versions.
Unreserved checkouts allow more than one developer to work simultaneously on the same files.
A flexible modules database supports symbolic mapping of names to the components of a larger software distribution.
CVS servers run on most platforms.

Use CVS to record the history of changes to code source files and other development/production documents.
