Hi Manon,
See the apt descriptions for subversion and cvs. From the description of cvs:
CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc.
As I understand it, a user will 'check out' a file from the cvs to work on it. While it is 'checked out', others can read that version of the file but they can't 'check it out' to edit it. The person who has it checked out can then check the file back in with whatever changes they made. The cvs then keeps diffs and checkpoints so that the state of the repository at any point in time can be recreated. I.e. the question "what did that file look like on June 15?" is a valid question that the cvs can answer.
The whole cvs sits on top of a regular file system. There's nothing preventing root from directly editing a file owned by cvs.
I think that there are web-based interfaces to the cvs so that files can be retreived over https as well.
This is all I know about cvs and it may not be accurate.
Doug.
