RE: What is the true use ?

[Jerry Nairn]

A method for keeping an up to date copy of what you have in your repository
can be found at:
http://www.cvshome.org/cyclic/cvs/dev-sklar.txt

That was written by David Sklar, who has a site with more cvs and web
development ideas at:
http://www.sklar.com/web-and-cvs/sandbox.html

Another alternative is the cvs Apache module:

Good luck,
