About cvs:

CVS is a well-established versioning system, being used at many software development sites (like sourceforge.net and beunited.org).

This port of CVS adds attribute-sensitivity such that it avoids the usual problem that on every update/commit all attributes of the involved files are gone (since CVS normally deletes and recreates the files). This port fixes that behaviour, such that the attributes are kept intact.

	Details about this version: This release has been sent to me by Matt Madia, thanks Matt! Below are the changes straight from the NEWS-file: Changes since 1.11.20: ********************** * Thanks to Serguei E. Leontiev , CVS with Kerberos 5 GSSAPI should automatically link on FreeBSD 5.x. (bug #14639). * Thanks to Rahul Bhargava , heavily loaded systems suffering from a disk crash or power failure will not lose data they claimed to have committed. * CVS server now handles conflict markers in Entry requests as documented. * CVS now remembers that binary file merge conflicts occurred until the timestamp of the updated binary file changes. * CVS client now saves some bandwidth by not sending the contents of files with conflicts to the server when it isn't needed. * CVS now does correct locking during import. * A problem where the server could block indefinitely waiting for an EOF from the client when compression was enabled has been fixed. * `cvs diff' no longer splits its arguments on spaces. * Thanks to an old report and patch from Stewart Brodie , a potential crash in response to a corrupt RCS file has been fixed. * CVS now locks the history and val-tags files before writing to them. Especially with large repositories, users should no longer see new warnings about corrupt history records when using the `cvs history' command. Existing corrupt history records will still need to be removed manually. val-tags corruption should have had less obvious effects, but removing the CVSROOT/val-tags file and allowing a 1.11.21 or later version of CVS to regenerate it may eliminate a few odd behaviors and possibly cause a slight speed up of read transactions in large repositories over time.
