[Acronym] for __C__oncurrent __V__ersions __S__ystem, a VersionControlSystem. (Not to be confused with [CSV].)

It was born as a batch of [Shell] scripts wrapping [RCS] and diff3(1), but evolved into something much greater. Unfortunately, its roots also imply some annoying limitations like being unable to rename/move files in the repository without losing the associated history.
