If you want to know all the gory details, you will want to visit
<a href="http://www.cvshome.org/">the CVS main web page</a>.<p>
For the impatient, the following is probably about all you need to know:
<p>
<dl>
<dt><pre>cvs checkout -c</pre>
<dd>Will list the modules available for checkout
<dt><pre>cvs checkout &lt module name &gt</pre>
<dd>Will checkout the named module
<dt><pre>cvs co &lt module name &gt</pre>
<dd>Same thing
<dt><pre>cvs update</pre>
<dd>Updates your local archive so it is in sync with the repository
-- your local updates are left intact. Tries to merge upstream updates
into your local updates. You will see the following tags when it is
updating your local repository: C means conflict, U means update,
P means patched, and M means modified.
<dt><pre>cvs up</pre>
<dd>Same thing
<dt><pre>cvs update &lt file name &gt</pre>
<dd>Same thing but for just the named file(s)/directory(s).
<dt><pre>cvs commit</pre>
<dd>Will check in all your work.
<dt><pre>cvs add &lt file name &gt</pre>
<dd>Adds the named file/directory into CVS
<dt><pre>cvs remove &lt file name &gt</pre>
<dd>Removes the named file/directory from the upstream repository.
<dt><pre>cvs rm &lt file name &gt</pre>
<dd>Same thing
<dt><pre>cvs log &lt file name &gt</pre>
