| <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. 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> |
