Title: Version Control with CVS Subversion

Abstract: Centralized version control involves keeping a set of files in a central location, with one or more people having access to those files and editing them concurrently. Important problems that version control systems should solve include keeping a history of changes, allowing changes to be reverted, resolving conflicts, managing branches and controlling access.

CVS and Subversion are two systems aiming to solve these problems. I will discuss how they are used, how they work and how well they perform. If you already know about CVS you are welcome to sleep through every second slide.
