<h1 class="Head">CVS Repositories</h1>
<p class="Intro"> </p>
<p class="Para"> A Concurrent Versions System (CVS) repository is a persistent
data store that coordinates multi-user access to projects and their contents.
Projects in a repository can be of two forms: immutable (a project version)
or modifiable (a project in a branch). Communication between the repository
and Workbench clients is possible over local or wide area networks.&nbsp;
Currently the Workbench supports two internal authentication protocols
for CVS: pserver and ssh. Authentication protocols provided by external
tools can also be used by CVS.</p>
