This manual describes how to use CVS, a powerful version control system. CVS tracks changes to source code and documents, allowing previous versions to be recovered at any time. Releases and branches can be tagged with symbolic names to record sets of files for permanent reference. CVS supports many advanced features including branching and merging, export and patch file generation, and tracking of third party sources (vendor branches). CVS can increase the efficiency of development teams by allowing concurrent development. CVS uses a conflict detection algorithm to allow multiple developers to work on the same files simultaneously. CVS is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). CVS runs on GNU (GNU/Linux) and Unix systems. CVS client software is also available for Microsoft Windows. This is a printed version of the official CVS manual. All the money raised from the sale of this book supports free software development and documentation.

This review is from: Version Management With Cvs (Paperback)
This book is ok for what it is meant to be... a general look at CVS. What it lacks is an easy way to get into this book. The index did not seem to have any of the items that I was looking for nor did the table of contents. Reading the book, however, everything seems to be in there, just not where you expect it.Overall, good book but needs a good editor and better organization. This book is definately not for someone that just wants to find what they are looking for fast and move on.

Book is Ok,
By Rahul Bhargava "Rahul" (San Ramon,CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Version Management with CVS (Paperback)
CVS is a pretty simple and good enough version control system compared to the likes of ClearCase etc. The book is fairly complete. Wish it dealt a bit more with security of repository.
