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CMVC sales and support terminated some time after IBM acquired Rational Software, its functions being superseded by products in the Rational product line (IBM Rational ClearCase and IBM Rational ClearQuest).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:
“The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.”
—Ben C. Bradlee (b. 1921)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
