  • File control with CVS
    • Advantages:
      • It gives a central repository for files that's easily accessed
      • Changes are reversable, if necessary
      • Changes are trackable -- no more "who did this to this file", you know.
      • Multiple branches are possible, so you can backtrack to older creative strategies
    • Disadvantages:
      • Can't compare versions to find out what's changed, so getting changes back is a little tricky
      • Setup is not very simple; be prepared to spend some time on it
