The purpose of this tutorial is to provide practical examples of how to use CVS during a typical source development cycle. The complexity of the CVS interface and underlying structure tends to prevent casual use of the system and prevents us from taking full advantage of the multi-user, parallel development features. With the examples provided in this tutorial, it will be possible to use CVS as just another tool, simplifying back porting bug fixes, maintainence of released packages, and safely going about large scale code changes (such as a platform port, architectural changes, or adding experimental code). Those using CVS after this tutorial will be able to enjoy some of its more mysterious benefits with as little trouble as possible.
