PVCS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PVCS, or Polytron Version Control System, is a software package for revision control of files, in particular source code files.
PVCS follows the "locking" approach to concurrency control; it has no merge operator built-in. However PVCS can also be configured to support several users simultaneously attempting to edit the file; in this case the second commiter (chronologically speaking) will have a branch created for him/her so that both modifications, instead of conflicting, will appear as parallel histories for the same file. This is unlike CVS and Subversion which in this case would attempt to merge the two change sets together.
Originally published by Polytron in the late 1980s, through a history of acquisitions and mergers, the product was at times owned by Sage Software, Intersolv, and Merant Software. The latter was acquired by Serena Software in 2004, which was itself acquired by Silver Lake Partners in 2006[1].
