CVS - Concurrent Versions System - is an open-source version control system

#Description CVS, or Concurrent Versions System, is a client–server version control system based on the earlier RCS.

A version control system keeps track of all work and all changes in a set of files, and allows several developers (potentially widely separated in space and time) to collaborate. Dick Grune developed CVS as a series of shell scripts in July 1986.

In addition to commercial software developers, CVS became popular with the open source software world and was released under the GNU General Public License. While there was regular development to add features and fix bugs in the past, including regular builds and test results, there have been no new releases since 2008.

Whilst it lacks support for features more prevalent in newer version control systems (Unicode support, file renames, distributed revision control, cheap branching), and is not in active development, it is still used by a number of open source and commercial developers.
