Version Control (CVS, VSS, SubVersion, …)

Why doing "Version Control" ?

a) Traceability:
- Who did when what changes?
b) Parallel development:
- Several developers work on the same file on different versions
- Several versions files merged to become a common successor
c) Reproduction of all delivered versions
