+# Version control systems: generics and basics
+
+Groups are added to Savannah with no repositories; in order to create
+them, a VCS should be enabled on the 'Select Features' page available
+to the administrators of the group.  Repositories are then created
+in a cron job, see [[update delays|SavannahUpdateDelays]].
+
+For basic directions on each VCS, visit the "*VCS_name* Repository"  link
+in "Developer tools" on the main page of the group, or "Use *VCS_name*"
+in the menu bar of the group.
+
+We generally don't remove existing repositories; when they are
+disabled, the group stops advertising them, but the repositories
+are still accessible.  Savannah admins can remove them from the server
+when we have really compelling reasons.
