tla has several problems:

1. It is not portable to Win32, and porting it there is not a priority of its 
main developer.

2. It is no longer maintained and will be replaced by GNU Arch 2.0.

3. Several common operations in it require a great deal of commands.

4. It has some confusing commands: "tla mv" does one thing and "tla move" does 
something else.

5. A checkout requires checking out the entire history. (if the history is 
very large - it becomes a problem).

Subversion ( http://subversion.tigris.org/ ) has none of these deficiencies 
and is also very slick, very fast, algorithmically-sane, feels wonderful to 
use, etc. You can distribute it using svk.

So I recommend using Subversion instead. Whatever we choose to use, CVS should 
be avoided like the plague - it is incredibly Evil.
