ConcurrentVersionsSystem

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is:

"the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system.  CVS is useful for everyone from individual developers to large, distributed teams:

• Its client-server access method lets developers access the latest code from anywhere there's an Internet connection?.
• Its unreserved check-out model to version control avoids artificial conflicts common with the exclusive check-out model.
• Its client tools are available on most platforms." [1]
