-CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions
-of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why
-changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS.  Unlike the simpler systems,
-CVS does not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a
-time, but operates on hierarchical collections of directories
-consisting of version controlled files.  CVS helps to manage releases
-and to control the concurrent editing of source files among multiple
-authors.  CVS allows triggers to enable/log/control various
-operations and works well over a wide area network.
