[Dave Peticolas · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an introduction both to the use of the CVS source code control system and to the process of open source development using CVS. The CVS-specific parts of the book are available online.

CVS is only one of many source code control systems, but it is one of the most common. Newer projects such as arch and Subversion are aiming to provide new, better replacements for CVS.

A great starting point to understand CVS.
Practical indeed!

Good reference book not only on using CVS, but also offering a bit on insight on Free Open Source Software and how does the development process work on these kind of projects.
