2) CVS is so made for this type of work.  Your web site is coded in
HTML, JSP, ASP, Php, or something along those lines.  So when a
developer need to change a page on the web site, the developer would
checkout the file that creates that page, updates that file, and then
checks the file.  Now you will have a history of changes to each page.

3)  Now all CVS does is maintain the source code.  You the developer
will still need to promote you pages to the web server.
