I suggest adding a unique Wikipedia entry for CVSNT and doing something to handle searches for CVS Suite (the commercial version of CVSNT), eg: a separate page or a redirect to CVSNT.

See also the discussion page for Talk:Concurrent_Versions_System.

Here are some draft pages (certainly still need some work): User:ArthurBarrett/CVSNT and User:ArthurBarrett/CVS Suite. Please post in the discussion of those pages, or here what changes you would suggest / like to see.

Suggested Categories for CVSNT article are: "Software engineering" and "Free version control systems". Suggested Categories for CVS Suite article are: "Software engineering" and "Proprietary version control systems".

Adding these articles would also require some minor changes to the "Concurrent Versions System" page, eg::

Limitations

After itemised list, but before notes on Subversion. Since a paragraph in the article already discussed Subversion as a solution to the limitations then I believe it is entirely acceptable to discuss CVSNT as a solution for the limitations.

Users unhappy with these limitations began the development of the free CVSNT and released the first version in 1999 replacing CVS. Linux and Unix support was re-added in early 2002, rename, atomicity, binary deltas, Unicode and change sets were added in 2004.
