Cvs stands for concurrent version system. It is a way for multiple 
contributors to work on a project simultaniously and for the project 
leaders to keep track of who made what changes and keep multiple 
revissions of files. Cvs is most commonly used for source code, but I am 
under the impression that it could be used for documentation and the like 
as well.
