cfvers is a versioning system for configuration files. It is similar to CVS and Subversion, but different in its orientation toward system configuration files, dealing with all file types and attributes.

It does not pollute the filesystem outside its dirs, it keeps both data and metadata (owner, group, perms, atime, mtime), and it deals with all types of files (S_IFSOCK, S_IFLNK, S_IFREG, S_IFBLK, S_IFDIR, S_IFCHR, S_IFIFO).

Here are some key features of "cfvers":
does not pollute the filesystem outside its dirs;
keeps both data and metadata (owner, group, perms, atime, mtime);
deals with all types of files (S_IFSOCK, S_IFLNK, S_IFREG, S_IFBLK, S_IFDIR, S_IFCHR, S_IFIFO);

Requirements:
python 2.3 or newer

What's New in This Release:
This release adds virtual file support (versioning of command output) and new commands in the cfv tool.
A new client-server model and deleted files support have been made available since the last public release.
