COPYFS(1)						      Versioning File System							 COPYFS(1)

NAME

       CopyFS - Versioning File System for FUSE

DESCRIPTION

       CopyFS  is  a copy-on-write, versioning file system for FUSE. CopyFS can be used to maintain the revision history of a directory containing
       files for which you want to track changes, and be able to revert to any older version. CopyFS lets you  do  that  by  transparently  making
       backups of each file that you modify so that you can review and revert to any previous revision.

       Here is the list of commands related to CopyFS. See their man pages for additional documentation.

       copyfs-mount(1)
	      Allows a directory to be placed under CopyFS revision control.

       copyfs-fversion(1)
	      This command lets you check the revision history of a file, and revert to an older version.

       copyfs-daemon(1)
	      The CopyFS file system itself. You should not have to run it directly, instead use the copyfs-mount command.

HISTORY

       CopyFS 1.0 was released in December 2004.

AUTHORS

       CopyFS was created by Thomas Joubert and Nicolas Vigier <nv@n0x.org>
