Revision 2676687 of "Bonsai CVS code management system" on enwiki

The '''Bonsai CVS code management system''' is a [[computer program]] designed to help large programming projects productively manage [[CVS]] code archives.  It was initially developed to fill the [[Mozilla]] project's need for good tools to allow multiple developers to edit its extremely large codebase.

Among other features, Bonsai allows complex queries to be performed, as well as near real-time updates of checkins to the CVS server.

Bonsai was founded by [[Terry Weissman]]. It was first written in [[TCL]], then later ported to Perl. It still uses [[Perl]], but runs off a [[MySQL]] database, and can be served using any [[Perl]] aware webserver, such as [[Apache HTTP Server|Apache]].
