Editing Version control (section)

===Atomic operations===
{{Main|Atomic commit}}
An operation is ''atomic'' if the system is left in a consistent state even if the operation is interrupted. The ''commit'' operation is usually the most critical in this sense. Commits tell the revision control system to make a group of changes final, and available to all users. Not all revision control systems have atomic commits; Concurrent Versions System lacks this feature.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Smart |first1=John Ferguson |title=Java Power Tools |date=2008 |publisher="O'Reilly Media, Inc." |isbn=978-1-4919-5454-6 |page=301 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YoTvBpKEx5EC&q=cvs+doesn%27t+support+atomic+commit&pg=PA301 |access-date=20 July 2019 |language=en |archive-date=26 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240926164948/https://books.google.com/books?id=YoTvBpKEx5EC&q=cvs+doesn%27t+support+atomic+commit&pg=PA301#v=snippet&q=cvs%20doesn't%20support%20atomic%20commit&f=false |url-status=live }}</ref>
