: There is quite a good Linux Journal article on CVS, although a short howto
: wouldnt go amiss. Perhaps LJ would be willing to put the article up if
: someone html formatted it for them ?

I have a short howto that is under construction. I've already had
some feedback on it, but not enough (imho). Please feel free to check
it out at
http://www.village.org/villagers/imp/howtocvs.html
It focuses mostly on the vendor branch problem, and things you need to
do to get the job done. There are two problems with using CVS. One
that I hit was the net/core not being imported, solved by cvsignore,
and the other is some symlinks that go missing, but I haven't seen
that so I'm not sure what that means yet. Please let me know any
other things that you notice in my howto. For the moment, I have a
restrictive distribution thing on it, but plan on reducing that
restriction to something acceptible to the community once it firms up.
