History
It was sold and distributed through the mid-late 1990s by the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) and was derived in part from software purchased from HP and from IBM's internal-use-only system, IDSS.
In the 1990s, this system was used to manage the IBM OS/2 and IBM AIX source code repositories.
CMVC sales and support terminated some time after IBM acquired Rational Software, its functions being superseded by products in the Rational product line (IBM Rational ClearCase and IBM Rational ClearQuest). However, some customer installations of CMVC remain in use as of 2008, and it is still widely used within IBM.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
