LITTLE BOOK PACKS A LOT OF INFO ON CVS


Sebastopol, CA--The beauty of open source is that it makes code freely
available. The curse is that, without some method of organizing it,
code development can devolve into chaos. CVS, the Concurrent Version
System, is an open source tool for managing source code, designed to
allow multiple users to work on the same file at the same time, using a
shared directory. Under CVS, multiple users can check out files from a
directory tree, make changes, and then commit those changes back into
the directory.

The latest release from O'Reilly, "CVS Pocket Reference", is a quick
reference guide to help administrators and users set up and manage
source code development. This small book, the ultimate companion for
open source developers, covers CVS Version 1.10.8 and delivers the core
concepts of version control, along with a complete command reference
and guide to configuration and repository setup.
