    \title CVS

    \brief Additional CVS functions.

    CVS is an open source version control system.

    \note Enable the CVS plugin to use it.

    In addition to the standard version control system functions described in
    \l {Use common version control functions}, you can select \uicontrol Tools >
    \uicontrol CVS > \uicontrol Edit to set a file as writable, notify
    watchers that the file is being edited, and watch for actions performed
     on the file by other users.

    To discard the changes that you made in a file, notify watchers that
    the file is no longer being edited, and set the file as read-only,
    select \uicontrol Unedit.

    To unedit files in the local directory, as well as recursively in all
    subdirectories, select \uicontrol {Unedit Repository}.

    \section1 CVS preferences

    To set CVS preferences, select \preferences >
    \uicontrol {Version Control} > \uicontrol CVS.
