Indeed, there are several Macintosh CVS clients, several of which are loosely referred to as “MacCvs”. MacCVS Pro (currently) shares no code with and is not derived from the CVS client for Mac OS which is called MacCVS, nor is it related to other software called MacCVSClient. To distinguish our client from those, we chose the name MacCVS Pro. The differences between all three clients are various. (which I refer to as GNU MacCVS) is an actual port of the GNU CVS source code using GUSI. It models CVS far more closely than MacCVS Pro or MacCVSClient. So some of the more obscure features of CVS will likely be supported in it. MacCVSClient is a completely independent implementation (like MacCVS Pro) developed in PowerPlant. The format it uses for storing CVS revision information is different than either MacCVS Pro or GNU MacCVS.
