Looking for CVS questions

[Bob Cober]

Some simple questions I'd like to see:

How to do branching and merging...

How to generate and analyze diffs between revisions of large projects...

How to resolve updates of the smae file by multiple people - process and
strategies, etc..(If this is alot better than Visual Source Safe, I know I
can convert our team over to CVS)

How to participate in open-source projects on the internet using cvs -
overview, checking out, commiting, etc...

Just my 2 cents....
Thanks
Bob
