Just as an aside - CVS is:
CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions
of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why
changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems,
CVS does not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a
time, but operates on hierarchical collections of directories consist
ing of version controlled files. CVS helps to manage releases and to
control the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors.
CVS allows triggers to enable/log/control various operations and works
well over a wide area network.
Stolen from 'man cvs'.
