Viewvc

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. ViewVC (formerly ViewCVS) is an open source tool for viewing the contents of CVS and SVN repositories using a web browser. It allows you to look at specific revisions of files as well as side by side diffs of different revisions. It is written in Python and the view parameters can be modified directly in a URL using a REST style interface.ViewVC was inspired by the CVSweb application, an older web-based CVS repository viewer written in Perl. The original ViewCVS was a python port of this application, with the intention to add enhancements to the existing functionality.
