Oh, poop! CVS doesn't come close to "working."
Can't archive directories, deletes and renames, links, or properly
handle binaries.
CVS is so broken it is technically inferior to RCS.
Get yourself a real SCM tool and get your head out of the sand.
And the fact is, we didn't have to do any of those on that set of projects,
so CVS was just fine. And its extremely easy to set up/administer.
In my day, I've used CVS, Perforce, Bitkeeper, ClearCase, and custom
solutions. I've even helped write a tool to synch files between CVS,
ClearCase, and the custom solution. If I had to order them for ease of use,
CVS goes straight to the top for single site small projects. There's no
reason to monkey around with anything else a large chunk of the time-
possibly the majority of the time. When you're doing a major project, or
when you stat to need features CVS doesn't have, then you can consider
moving to a new tool.
