CVS
CVS is an open source version control system.
Note: Enable the CVS plugin to use it.
In addition to the standard version control system functions described in Use common VCS Functions, you can select Tools > CVS > Edit to set a file as writable, notify watchers that the file is being edited, and watch for actions performed on the file by other users.
To discard the changes that you made in a file, notify watchers that the file is no longer being edited, and set the file as read-only, select Unedit.
To unedit files in the local directory, as well as recursively in all subdirectories, select Unedit Repository.
