Version Control

Distributed Version Control

Emacs provides dvc, a standard interface for Distributed Version Control systems. dvc is based on and largely compatible with vc (see below).

For some popular distributed version control systems there also exist additional Emacs modes that are independent of dvc. These are noted in the table below.

System	Modes
git	dvc, magit, egg
bzr	dvc
Mercurial (hg)	dvc

Conventional Version Control

vc provides a standard interface between Emacs and conventional version control systems. See the table for an overview.

System	Modes
CVS	vc
SVN	vc
RCS	vc
