Pragmatic Version Control with CVS

---

This book tells you how to improve the effectiveness of your software development process using version control. Version Control, sometimes called source code control, is the first leg of our project support tripod. We view the use of version control as mandatory on all projects. Version control offers many advantages to both teams and individuals. • It gives the team a project-wide undo button; nothing is final, and mistakes are easily rolled back. Imagine you’re using the world’s most sophisticated word processor. It has every function imaginable, except one. For some rea- son, they forgot to add support for a DELETE key. Think how carefully and slowly you’d have to type, particularly as you got near the end of a large document. One mis- take, and you’d have to start over. It’s the same with version control; having the ability to go back an hour, a day, or a week frees your team to work quickly, confident that they have a way of fixing mistakes. • It allows multiple developers to work on the same code base in a controlled manner. The team no longer loses changes when someone overwrites the edits made by an- other team member.
