The figure above shows the contents of the `tc' module inside the repository. As you can see all file names end in `,v'. The files are history files. They contain, among other things, enough information to recreate any revision of the file, a log of all commit messages and the user-name of the person who committed the revision. cvs uses the facilities of rcs, a simpler version control system, to maintain these files. For a full description of the file format, see the man page rcsfile(5).
