google for cvs reveals

  CVS Corporation sells prescription drugs and various general
      merchandise products

  CVS is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source
      network-transparent version control system.

My guess is that you're interested in the latter.  CVS is a widely
used system for code management where the development/bleeding-edge
version of the code resides, and usually contains all known bug fixes.
This is contrasted with the "released" or stable version of the code,
which is what most people use unless they are developers, want a brand
new feature, or a recent bug fix.

Google is your friend.
