What is the difference between a CVS repository and a DCVS repository?
Each server belonging to the DCVS replication network has at least on repository. This repository consists largely of replicated development lines, which are owned by other servers of the network, and of the relatively few branches owned by the host itself. All repositories belonging to the network are synchronized in intervals according to setting. Therefore they are most of the time consistent. In contrast CVS uses exactly one writeable repository for all client workspaces. Standard CVSup application only allow for read-only copies. • What is the benefit of using DCVS as opposed to using a combination of CVS and CVSup? DCVS integrates the tools and assures robust operation. DCVS avoids desasters by ensuring uniqueness of deltas and tags across all repositories. DCVS facilitates write access to different development lines of one softwareproject on an abitrary number of locally distributed workplaces. DCVS provides new features for the handling of complex configurations (snapshots, cha
