Re: FileSystem Question

Hi Douglas,

See the apt descriptions for subversion and cvs. From the description
of cvs:
CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old
versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who,
when, and why changes occurred, etc.

The whole cvs sits on top of a regular file system. There's nothing
preventing root from directly editing a file owned by cvs.



Thanks for explaining Doug. I ain't got the time right now to check this
out in detail, but at first glance it surely looks useful to me.

Greetings, Manon.
