It's still a very widely used version control system, despite the popularity of git. If it works (and well), why change it?

- danellis 11y agoThe "well" part is questionable. It's been many years since I used CVS, but I recall things like branching and merging being much more tedious affairs. People move on to things like Git not just because they're fashionable, but because they're more productive. When I see a large project still using CVS, it makes me wonder if there's some point trying to be made.
- packetized 11y agoPresumably, part of it is related to licensing - OpenCVS being a BSD-licensed tool.
