Unless it came out within the last two months, there isn't a full-sized
CVS book from O'Reilly yet. There's a pint-sized pocket reference of
75 small pages, which I bought a few months ago.
Full-sized books are available in postscript (and pdf, I think) right
from cvshome.org, for free. I downloaded and printed two of them.
"Open Source Development With CVS" by Karl Fogel is pretty good, but the
definitive reference is "Version Management with CVS" by Per Cederqvist
et al. The later is often referred to simply as "The Cederqvist". This
is also very good.
I stuck each of them into 2" 3-ring binders and have many bookmarks in
each. If the CVS Desktop Reference doesn't answer the question, one of
the other two does.
