        !            32: .Sh DESCRIPTION
        !            33: Concurrent Versions System is a popular open source version control system.
        !            34: Although it is mostly used to track changes to software source code for
        !            35: development teams, there are very few limitations to the kind of data that
        !            36: can be managed by the system, and it can be used for document archival
        !            37: purposes as well.
        !            38: .Pp
        !            39: This document provides an introduction to using OpenCVS to manage repositories.
        !            40: It will first cover some of the aspects of using and managing CVS and,
        !            41: where appropriate, explain the main differences between OpenCVS and other
        !            42: distributions.
        !            43:
        !            44: .Sh CREATING A REPOSITORY
        !            45: Before CVS can be used, a repository must be created.
        !            46: A repository is simply a directory where the CVS daemon can store the version
        !            47: information for the files that it will host.

        !            62: .Sh CAVEATS
        !            63: This CVS implementation does not fully conform to the GNU CVS version.
        !            64: In some cases, this was done explicitly because GNU CVS has inconsistencies
        !            65: or ambiguous behaviour.
        !            66: Some things have also been left out or modified to enhance the overall
        !            67: security of the system.
        !            68: .Pp
        !            69: Among other things, support for the pserver connection mechanism has been
        !            70: dropped because of security issues with the authentication mechanism.
        !            71: .Sh HISTORY
        !            72: The OpenCVS project is a BSD-licensed rewrite of the original
        !            73: Concurrent Versioning System written by Jean-Francois Brousseau.
        !            74: The original CVS code was written in large parts by Dick Grune,
        !            75: Brian Berliner and Jeff Polk.
