Geoff, Completely agree - when we started using CVS I suspected that it
may have been overkill as we did not have "multiple" developers (only
the two).

However, I am eternally grateful that we did for the following reasons:
- Automated build -> i.e. checkout nightly to development server
- Simpler management of code releases
- Ability to work on different computers (Generally work at my desktop
but when working from home I update the version on my laptop and keep
working)
- Generation of changelogs (useful for filling out time sheets)
- Another backup of all code.

I have found it so useful that I now use it on all projects (even when
I'm the only developer) because of all the advantages it brings.

Hope this helps persuade some people to try.

Regards,
Mark
