The Humble Guru
===============
If you read and understood (and better yet, experimented with)
everything in this chapter, you may rest assured that there are no big
surprises left for you in CVS - at least until someone adds a major new
feature to CVS. Everything you need to know to use CVS on a major
project has been presented.
Before that goes to your head, let me reiterate the suggestion, first
made in Chapter 4, that you subscribe to the <info-cvs@gnu.org> mailing
list. Despite having the impoverished signal-to-noise ratio common to
most Internet mailing lists, the bits of signal that do come through
are almost always worth the wait. I was subscribed during the entire
time I wrote this chapter (indeed, for all previous chapters as well),
and you would be amazed to know how many important details I learned
about CVS's behavior from reading other people's posts. If you're
going to be using CVS seriously, and especially if you're the CVS
administrator for a group of developers, you can benefit a lot from the
shared knowledge of all the other serious users out there.
