ViewCVS is a WWW interface for CVS and Subversion repositories. You can browse the file hierarchy by picking directories (which have slashes after them, e.g., src/). If you pick a file, you will see the revision history for that file. Selecting a revision number will display that revision of the file. There is a link at each revision to display diffs between that revision and the previous one, and a form at the bottom of the page that allows you to display diffs between arbitrary revisions.
ViewCVS History and Credits
This program (ViewCVS) has been written by Greg Stein <gstein@lyra.org> based on the cvsweb script by Henner Zeller <zeller@think.de> (which was hosted at that time on http://linux.fh-heilbronn.de/~zeller/cgi/cvsweb.cgi and is now maintained as a FreeBSD project); it is covered by the BSD-License. If you would like to use ViewCVS on your own web server and CVS tree, see the ViewCVS distribution site. Please send any suggestions, comments, etc. to the ViewCVS Developers Mailinglist.
