Official Version Management with CVS

CVS is one of the original version control systems.

Version Management with CVS by Per Cederqvist et al is the “official” manual for CVS. Commonly known as “the Cederqvist,” the manual covers repositories, branches, and file maintenance, and includes reference material for both CVS users and CVS repository administrators.

These officially released versions of this manual are available in several formats from this page, but we recommend this version from the Ximbiot - CVS Wiki. If you need other formats, the texinfo source file for the manual can be found in the `doc’ directory of the CVS source distribution.
