                     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.

                     63: The OpenCVS project is a BSD-licensed rewrite of the original
                     64: Concurrent Versioning System written by Jean-Francois Brousseau.
                     65: The original CVS code was written in large parts by Dick Grune,
                     66: Brian Berliner, and Jeff Polk.

1.1       jfb        69: .Sh CAVEATS
                     70: This CVS implementation does not fully conform to the GNU CVS version.
                     71: In some cases, this was done explicitly because GNU CVS has inconsistencies
                     72: or ambiguous behaviour.
                     73: Some things have also been left out or modified to enhance the overall
                     74: security of the system.
                     75: .Pp
                     76: Among other things, support for the pserver connection mechanism has been
                     77: dropped because of security issues with the authentication mechanism.
