title="Version control system">version control system</a> originally developed by <a href="/wiki/Dick_Grune" title="Dick Grune">Dick Grune</a> in July 1986.<sup id="cite_ref-ximbiot_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ximbiot-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading

title="Edit section: Design"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>CVS operates as a <a href="/wiki/Front_end_and_back_end" class="mw-redirect" title="Front end and back end">front end</a> to <a href="/wiki/Revision_Control_System" title="Revision Control System">Revision Control System</a> (RCS), an older version control system that manages individual files but not whole projects. It expands upon RCS by adding support for repository-level change tracking, and a client-server model.<sup id="cite_ref-Stopak_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Stopak-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Files are tracked using the same history format as in RCS, with a <a href="/wiki/Hidden_directory" class="mw-redirect" title="Hidden directory">hidden directory</a> containing a corresponding history file for each file in the repository. </p><p>CVS uses <a href="/wiki/Delta_compression" class="mw-redirect" title="Delta compression">delta compression</a> for efficient storage of different versions of the same file. This works well with large text files with few changes from one version to the next. This is usually the case for source code files. On the other hand, when CVS is told to store a file as binary, it will keep each individual version on the server. This is typically used for non-text files such as executable images where it is difficult to create compact deltas between versions. </p><p>CVS excludes <a href="/wiki/Symbolic_link" title="Symbolic link">symbolic links</a> because when they are stored in a version control system they can pose a security risk. For instance, a symbolic link to a sensitive file can be stored in the repository, making the sensitive file accessible even when it is not checked in. In place of symbolic links, scripts that require certain privileges and conscious intervention to execute may be checked into CVS.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="cleanup of text (July 2017)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Operation">Operation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Concurrent_Versions_System&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Operation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>CVS labels a single project (set of related files) that it manages as a <i><a href="/wiki/Module_(programming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Module (programming)">module</a></i>. A CVS server stores the modules it manages in its <i><a href="/wiki/Information_repository" title="Information repository">repository</a></i>. Programmers acquire copies of modules by <i>checking out</i>. The checked-out files serve as a <i>working copy</i>, <i>sandbox</i> or <i>workspace</i>. Changes to the working copy are reflected in the repository by <i><a href="/wiki/Commit_(data_management)" title="Commit (data management)">committing</a></i> them. To <i>update</i> is to acquire or <i><a href="/wiki/Merge_(revision_control)" class="mw-redirect" title="Merge (revision control)">merge</a></i> the changes in the repository with the working copy. </p><p>CVS uses a <a href="/wiki/Client%E2%80%93server" class="mw-redirect" title="Client–server">client–server</a> architecture: a server stores the current version(s) of a <a href="/wiki/Project" title="Project">project</a> and its history, and clients connect to the server in order to "check out" a complete copy of the project, work on this copy and then later "check in" their changes. CVS servers can allow "anonymous read access",<sup id="cite_ref-anoncvs_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-anoncvs-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> wherein clients may check out and compare versions with either a blank or simple published password (e.g., "anoncvs"); only the check-in of changes requires a personal account and password in these scenarios. Several developers may work on the same project concurrently, each one editing files within their own "working copy" of the project, and sending (or <i>checking in</i>) their modifications to the server. To avoid conflicts, the server only accepts changes made to the most recent version of a file. Developers are therefore expected to keep their working copy up-to-date by incorporating other people's changes on a regular basis. This task is mostly handled automatically by the CVS client, requiring manual intervention only when an <a href="/wiki/Edit_conflict" title="Edit conflict">edit conflict</a> arises between a checked-in modification and the yet-unchecked local version of a file. Clients can also use the "update" command to bring their local copies up-to-date with the newest version on the server. Clients can also compare versions, request a complete history of changes, or check out a historical snapshot of the project (e.g.: based on a given date). If the check-in operation succeeds, then the version numbers of all files involved automatically increment, and the server writes a user-supplied description line, the date and the author's name to its <a href="/wiki/Data_logging" class="mw-redirect" title="Data logging">log</a> files. CVS can also run external, user-specified log processing scripts following each commit. These scripts are installed by an entry in CVS's <code>loginfo</code> file, which can trigger email notification or convert the log data into a Web-based format. </p><p>CVS can also maintain different "branches" of a project. For instance, a released version of the software project may form one branch, used for bug fixes, while a version under current development, with major changes and new features, can form a separate branch. CVS assumes that the majority of work takes place on the trunk, and that branches should generally be short-lived or historical. When used as designed, branches are easily managed and branch operations are efficient and fast.<sup id="cite_ref-Collins-Sussman_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Collins-Sussman-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-West_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-West-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Portability">Portability</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Concurrent_Versions_System&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Portability"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The server software normally runs on <a href="/wiki/Unix" title="Unix">Unix</a> (although at least the <a href="/wiki/CVSNT" title="CVSNT">CVSNT</a> server also supports various flavors of <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Windows" title="Microsoft Windows">Microsoft Windows</a>), while CVS clients may run on any major <a href="/wiki/Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating system</a> platform. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Concurrent_Versions_System&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Grune recalled:<sup id="cite_ref-Grune_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Grune-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p> I created CVS to be able to cooperate with my students, Erik Baalbergen and Maarten Waage, on the ACK (<a href="/wiki/Amsterdam_Compiler_Kit" title="Amsterdam Compiler Kit">Amsterdam Compiler Kit</a>) C compiler.
