In the team programming environment of the Concurrent Versions System (CVS), each team member performs work independently from the other members. A CVS repository can be shared with other team members. Only a project or the files in a project can be shared. If a project is shared, only the files in the project are displayed in the repository. Other team members can access only the files that are explicitly shared.
