CVS vs VSS

CVS does not have the file lock mode. vss simultaneously records the file to be locked by the Export owner while checking out.

CVS update and commit, VSS is get_lastest_version and check in

The CVS corresponding to the checkout/undo check out of VSS is edit and unedit.

In CVs, the automatic update function is enabled by default, which also brings about a potential problem, if you do not use the-kb method to add binary files, the files may become invalid when CVS is automatically updated.
