What is CVS?
CVS is short for Concurrent Versions System, an open source, network-transparent program that allows developers to keep track of different development versions of source code. CVS does not maintain multiple versions of source code files but rather keeps a single copy and the records of all of the changes that are made. When a developer wants a particular development version of a file, CVS will reconstruct that version based on its records. The CVS service used on java.net is based on CollabNet’s Community Edition software. It is designed to help you set up your project and assign contributors to different roles; some might have full access to uploading and downloading code, others might just be able to download code.
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test that involves taking a tiny placental tissue sample from outside the sac where the fetus develops. The tissue is tested to diagnose chromosomal abnormalities, genetic birth defects and certain other conditions. The test generally is performed after 12 weeks of pregnancy. The test is beneficial to those who want results as early as possible in pregnancy. There is a risk of miscarriage of 1%.
