Introduction
************

This is a set of free, online chapters about using CVS (Concurrent
Versions System) for collaboration and version control.  It covers
everything from CVS installation and basic concepts all the way to
advanced usage and administration.  It is intended for anyone who uses
or plans to use CVS.

These chapters are excerpted from a larger work called `Open Source
Development With CVS' (published by The Coriolis Group
(http://www.coriolis.com/), ISBN 1-57610-490-7).  The remainder of that
book - chapters 1, 3, 5, and 7 - deals with the challenges and
philosophical issues of running an Open Source project using CVS.

While the free chapters here constitute a complete CVS book by
themselves, we certainly hope you'll like them enough to purchase a
treeware copy of the entire book!  You can order it directly from the
publisher, at
`http://www.coriolis.com/bookstore/bookdetail.cfm?id=1576104907'.
