CVS and its semi-chaotic development model have become cornerstones of open-source. [14] Over time, developers have created new version control systems based on CVS in order to add features, alter the operational model, and improve developers' productivity. CVS replacement projects include CVSNT and Subversion. [15] [16]
Revision Control System (RCS) is an early implementation of a version control system (VCS). It is a set of UNIX commands that allow multiple users to develop and maintain program code or documents. With RCS, users can make their own revisions of a document, commit changes, and merge them.
The following table contains relatively general attributes of version-control software systems, including: Repository model, the relationship between copies of the source code repository Client–server , users access a master repository via a client ; typically, their local machines hold only a working copy of a project tree.
CVSNT is a version control system compatible with and originally based on Concurrent Versions System (CVS), but whereas that was popular in the open-source world, CVSNT included features designed for developers working on commercial software including support for Windows, Active Directory authentication, reserved branches/locking, per-file access control lists and Unicode filenames.
Razor [proprietary, ?] – integrated suite from Visible Systems; Revision Control System (RCS) [open, shared] – stores the latest version and backward deltas for the fastest access to the trunk tip [4] [5] compared to SCCS and an improved user interface, [6] at the cost of slow branch tip access and missing support for included/excluded deltas
SCCS was the dominant version control system for Unix until later version control systems, notably the RCS and later CVS, gained more widespread adoption. Today, these early version control systems are generally considered obsolete, particularly in the open-source community, which has largely embraced distributed version control systems.
Version control (also known as revision control, source control, and source code management) is the software engineering practice of controlling, organizing, and tracking different versions in history of computer files; primarily source code text files, but generally any type of file. Version control is a component of software configuration ...
The Distributed Concurrent Versions System (DCVS) was a distributed revision control system that enables software developers working on locally distributed sites to efficiently collaborate on a software project. DCVS was based on the well known version control system Concurrent Versions System. The code was freely distributable under the GNU ...
