What is CVSweb?

CVSweb is a WWW interface for CVS repositories with which you can browse a file hierarchy on your browser to view each file's revision history in a very handy manner.

CVSweb was originally written by &a.fenner for the FreeBSD Project, and instantly won great popularity among software developpers for its usability.

FreeBSD-CVSweb, formerly known as knu-CVSweb, is an enhanced version of CVSweb based on and has been kept in sync with Henner Zeller's CVSweb, which is an extended version of CVSweb. &a.knu made numerous cleanups, bug-fixes, security enhancements and feature improvements over the version and brought it back where it was born.

CVSweb is freely available under the terms of the BSD license. It is currently used by such projects as FreeBSD, XFree86, Perl, and Ruby.
