- Centralized file control
- Both have benefits in different situations, but for binary files you want to use lock-modify-unlock
- When comparing the file for commiting CVS uses a program called "diff" -- which can't compare binary files effectively
- This means two things:
- CVS can't tell you if your file's been changed by anyone else while you were working on it -- so you could overwrite changes
- Because it can't save the differences only, CVS holds full copies of all the previous versions -- not that bad, but still icky
