TortoiseCVS Credits

TortoiseCVS was written by Francis Irving, heavily based on code by Alexandre Parenteau for WinCVS. Thanks to Alexandre for great assistance with the WinCVS code and running the project. And everyone else who worked on WinCVS.

Thanks to Ben Campbell for lots of code and help, to all the folk at Creature Labs for being sporting and excited users, and most fun of all to Nathan Thomas for Charlie, the logo. And thank you to everyone who has posted on the TortoiseCVS mailing list or emailed me with help and support.

And thanks to the folk who made wxWindows and, of course!, CVS. Two excellent pieces of software.

Most of all a round of applause for everyone who has written code and sent a patch for TortoiseCVS. See the Change Log for their names. Code is the life and blood of open source software. Without your contributions it would wither.

Ask any questions on the TortoiseCVS mailing list, or if you need to you can email me at francis@flourish.org.

Legal Stuff

TortoiseCVS is freely available under the GPL - you can copy it, modify the source code, or even sell it, as long as you make any changes to the source code available.

DISCLAIMER: Like most software (even software that you pay for), TortoiseCVS comes with no warranty. Only you are responsible for any loss of data. Saying that, I use it every day with valuable data, and have had no problems which might cause loss of data. Most functionality uses the cvs2ntlib.dll which comes with WinCVS. So if you trust WinCVS, it might be sensible to trust this.


Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It leaves me only fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
Above the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.
