Anybody tell me how to interact with CVS/GNU Arch repository on a Linux
server with a Windows client? Any good coding software that supports it?

We've also been looking into CVS or something like. But I am having a
hard time even wrapping my head around it for a web development
environment. For example, you can't just check out the code into your
work folder and hack away since apache needs to feed it out if you
want to test it. For self contained projects that each user can run
their own instance of, it makes perfect sense. Right now I have it
setup so the projects are always checked out into a development
directory that apache does serve and when you complete the testing you
just commit the files and then run a script that blasts it out to all
the appropriate servers. Also changed up the permissions so all
coders can work on these files. Which takes away the user tracking
functionality of CVS.
You can really tell this is our first time with a CVS system. I am
very interested in hearing about all the types of CVS-type systems out
there and their pros and cons for a web environment. Or even just
better ways to lay it out.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be as well documented, and it
seems it might be a bit immature at this point. It does seem to
have some cool features though. Is anyone here using it, and if so,
what are your thoughts?
I wouldn't say immature. It needs polishing, UI, etc. but its design is
the best I've seen so far of the open source batch. And it works well,
very well.
subversion is a pile of hacks. It is made to work, but just enough so
that
people used to CVS can feel warm and cozy. It does very well at that,
hence the number of old CVS front-ends that have been made to work with
svn.
You might want to look at Bazaar, a version of GNU arch focused on
improving arch's UI, usability and front-end-ability. It was created
and maintained by the Canonical (Ubuntu) folks, and will remain as
compatible as possible with regular gnu arch.
