I notice RCS is described as a "revision control system" while CVS is described in its docs as a "version control system". Both seem to do basically the same thing, i.e. track changes in files and allow you to revert to an earlier stage of development if something goes wrong. Is there a difference or are they two names for the same thing?

I see them used interchangeably, and always assumed without thought that it was the same thing.

I think they span back to what terms were used in the past, a software version is always a revision of the software that will be released.
