Centralized Version Control Systems (CVCS)

---

• CVS, or Concurrent Versions System
• Apache Subversion (aka. SVN)
• Perforce
• Rational Clear-Case (IBM) (Configuration Management)

• Central server holds everything (good/bad)
• Easier administration, better control
• Limited or no off-line work
• Single point of failure.
• Branching is easy in some cases (Subversion)
• Merging is still a pain
