Not to bust your chops too much, but, as is typical in GNU software, the
document makes the most sense when you read all of it.  :-)

In addition to the Cederqvist manual, referenced above, there is some
excellent documentation written by Karl Fogel, which is (mostly) available
at http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html and which is also (entirely)
available at your local bookstore in a bound volume published by Coriolis.
It's well worth the money to get the printed version, especially now that
the second edition has come out.
