Cfengine does not integrate directly with CVS or SVN for the following reason.

Developing the promises for a release is a dialogue between (some freely 
chosen) version
control and the tester, but releasing a tested policy into a live system *must* 
be a human
action, for which an individual takes responsibility. It's like pushing the 
launch button.
I really do not want to make it easy to trivialize this operation by linking 
cfengine in
with a versioning system.

That said, it is trivial to copy the latest revision into your policy 
dissemination point.
When changes are made to system files, cfengine keeps backups or timestamped 
versions in
situ or in a repository.
