Beyond the commiter

Drupal is an example of a project with one commiter per branch -- there's is only one person who will be putting code into the DRUPAL-5 branch in CVS. Like wise for all other stable branches.

CVS only has the concept of commiter. All commits on that branch appear to be authored by that one person. The result is, we don't know who wrote what code anymore.

Other version control system have authors. So, while Bob did the commiting, it is recorded that Jane actually is the Author. You can go further and say that Pete did that design work and Sally did the Testing.
