INTERVIEW QUESTIONS CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT TOOLS CVS DETAILS

Question: What is CVS for? What does it do for me?

Answer: CVS is used to keep track of collections of files in a shared
directory called "The Repository". Each collection of files
can be given a "module" name, which is used to "checkout"
that collection.

After checkout, files can be modified (using your favorite
editor), "committed" back into the Repository and compared
against earlier revisions. Collections of files can be
"tagged" with a symbolic name for later retrieval.

You can add new files, remove files you no longer want, ask for
information about sets of files in three different ways,
produce patch "diffs" from a base revision and merge the
committed changes of other developers into your working files.
