Watches (CVS As Telephone)
==========================

A major benefit of using CVS on a project is that it can function as a
communications device as well as a record-keeper.  This section
concentrates on how CVS can be used to keep participants informed about
what's going on in a project.  As is true with other aspects of CVS,
these features reward cooperation.  The participants must want to be
informed; if people choose not to use the communications features,
there's nothing CVS can do about it.
