CVS clients can be set up by installing the package "cvs" on computers with an SSH client, setting the environment variables "CVSROOT" and "CVS_RSH" in user profile files, and copying user public SSH keys to the server. Use of ssh-agent(1) on the clients will save typing passphrases for CVS commands. That said -- Git is popular with many FOSS projects and also should work for system administration: https://git-scm.com/ https://github.com/ David
