Hi.

It is one of a class of program that tracks revisions in files.

Debian provides:
Quote:
Description: Concurrent Versions System
CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions
of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why
changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems,
CVS does not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at
a time, but operates on hierarchical collections of directories
consisting of version controlled files.

-- excerpt from apt-cache show cvs
For a comparison of such programs, see Comparison of revision control software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which will also provide links to specific articles or web pages.

Google and Wikipedia are your friends ... cheers, drl
