    • About CVS

    CVS maintains a history of a source tree, in terms of a series of changes. It stamps each change with the time it was made and the user name of the person who made it. Usually, the person provides a bit of text describing why they made the change as well. Given that information, CVS can help developers answer questions like:

    • Who made a given change?
    • When did they make it?
    • Why did they make it?
    • What other changes did they make at the same time?

    CVS will be used to maintain the code for Single Column Model (SCM) on ubc "ubcscm".
