"Stable and robust source code version control"

4/5

What do you like best about CVS?

It is one of the most robust and stable source code version controllers on UNIX servers, with the advantage of having a long history. You can be very meticulous in configuring it and make it adapt to your team and development environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CVS?

It's complicated and somewhat old, usually to have the services running well you need quite a few hours of configuration and really know what you're doing if you don't want to spend days trying to fix errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
