Version Control Systems

I used to use Clearcase and CVS for version control "back in the day" (way back in the day actually).

Some shops use Subversion now, which is referred to these days in the era of shortcuts and short attention spans, as SVN.

This link here - an analysis - shows some differences between CVS and SVN compared:

Moving on to GIT, here is a link where fundamental differences between GIT and SVN are discussed.

It's been a long time since I have done version control, or had a need to. So this is some information that can be helpful to get back "up to speed".
