Meta-CVS is version control system created around CVS. It retains most of the features of CVS while adding support for first class directory structure versioning, storage of symbolic links, and versioning of execute permissions and user-defined properties. Meta-CVS greatly simplifies branching and merging by keeping track of what is merged where. It records file types and automatically assigns a CVS keyword expansion mode to newly added files whose suffixes match previously recorded types. Meta-CVS also has an importing feature that automatically figures out renames and moves, making it possible to easily keep up with patches from multiple sources in spite of directory structure changes.  [edit]  Less
