There were lots of 'em. See the "Credits" section of the -README file and the individual ChangeLog files for more. +The conflict-resolution algorithms and much of the administrative file +definitions of CVS were based on the original package written by Dick Grune +at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam <dick@cs.vu.nl>, and posted to +comp.sources.unix in the volume 6 release sometime in 1986. This original +version was a collection of shell scripts. I am thankful that Dick made +his work available. + +Brian Berliner from Prisma, Inc. (now at Sun Microsystems, Inc.) +<berliner@sun.com> converted the original CVS shell scripts into reasonably +fast C and added many, many features to support software release control +functions. See the manual page in the "man" directory. A copy of the +USENIX article presented at the Winter 1990 USENIX Conference, Washington +D.C., is included in the "doc" directory. + +Jeff Polk from BSDI <polk@bsdi.com> converted the CVS 1.2 +sources into much more readable and maintainable C code. He also added a +whole lot of functionality and modularity to the code in the process. +See the bottom of the NEWS file (from about 1992). + +david d `zoo' zuhn <zoo@armadillo.com> contributed the working base code +for CVS 1.4 Alpha. His work carries on from work done by K. Richard Pixley +and others at Cygnus Support. The CVS 1.4 upgrade is due in large part to +Zoo's efforts. + +David G. Grubbs <dgg@odi.com> contributed the CVS "history" and "release" +commands. As well as the ever-so-useful "-n" option of CVS which tells CVS +to show what it would do, without actually doing it. He also contributed +support for the .cvsignore file. + +The Free Software Foundation (GNU) contributed most of the portability +framework that CVS now uses. This can be found in the "configure" script, +the Makefile's, and basically most of the "lib" directory. + +K. Richard Pixley, Cygnus Support <rich@cygnus.com> contributed many bug +fixes/enhancement as well as completing early reviews of the CVS 1.3 manual +pages. + +Roland Pesch, then of Cygnus Support <roland@wrs.com> contributed +brand new cvs(1) and cvs(5) manual pages. Thanks to him for saving us +from poor use of our language! + +Paul Sander, HaL Computer Systems, Inc. <paul@hal.com> wrote and +contributed the code in lib/sighandle.c. I added support for POSIX, BSD, +and non-POSIX/non-BSD systems. + +Jim Kingdon and others at Cygnus Support <info@cygnus.com> wrote the +remote repository access code. + +Larry Jones and Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com> have been maintaining and +enhancing CVS for some years. Mark D. Baushke <mdb@cvshome.org> came on in +2003. + +There have been many, many contributions not listed here. Consult the +individual ChangeLog files in each directory for a more complete idea. + +In addition to the above contributors, the following Beta testers +deserve special mention for their support. This is only a partial +list; if you have helped in this way and would like to be listed, let +bug-cvs know (as described in the Cederqvist manual). + + Mark D.
