  Revision control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traditionally, revision control systems have used a centralized model, where all the revision control functions are performed on a shared server.
A few years ago, systems like TeamWare, BitKeeper, and GNU arch began using a distributed model, where each developer works directly with their own local repository, and changes are shared between repositories as a separate step.
One of the leading proponents of distributed revision control is Linus Torvalds, inventor of the Linux kernel.

CVS is a sub-standard version control system, and most of the other VCSes I mentioned tried to be as similar to it as possible, so people can still use the old conceptual model, and retain some of their habits.

Java Revision Control System was a project for a lightweight Java file-oriented SCM that was to run over Java RMI (remote method invocation), abandoned by its author while still in late planning stages when he discovered Subversion.
RCS (Revision Control System) is a simple file-oriented SCM, often considered somewhat more advanced than CSSC/SCCS, and yet (as it turns out) much less useful as the foundation of an advanced system.
