Git is a decentralized version control system originally invented by
Linus Torvalds to support development of Linux (his kernel). VC
supports many common Git operations, but others, such as repository
syncing, must be done from the command line.
@cindex CVS
@item
CVS is the free version control system that was, until circa 2008,
used by the majority of free software projects. Since then, it has
been superseded by newer systems. CVS allows concurrent multi-user
development either locally or over the network. Unlike newer systems,
it lacks support for atomic commits and file moving/renaming. VC
supports all basic editing operations under CVS.

Subversion (svn) is a free version control system designed to be
similar to CVS but without its problems (e.g., it supports atomic
commits of filesets, and versioning of directories, symbolic links,
meta-data, renames, copies, and deletes).
