but honestly don't know what it means. Does this mean a CVS client is
buried somewhere on my box or that there is a daemon running somewhere?
The CVS binary is installed as /usr/bin/cvs by the Mac OS X Developer
Tools installer. It can act as both a client and a server.
Most IDEs these days support CVS by running /usr/bin/cvs as a subtask.
This includes Project Builder and probably Eclipse. It also includes
the excellent CVS front-end CVL.app from Sen:te
<http://www.sente.ch/software/cvl/>.
I know that CVS exists, but the only clients that I've found rely upon
SourceForge. I'm not too cool with uploading my private code to a
public
server (regardless of whom may have access to my pieces).
I have no idea what you mean by this. CVS needs a repository of some
sort to store your code in. It's trivial to create a local repository
in the local filesystem. It's also trivial to set up a repository on
another machine and access it via SSH.
The book "Open Source Development with CVS" by Karl Fogel provides a
great introduction to doing all of the common tasks with CVS as well as
to the philosophy behind it. If you're used to Visual SourceSafe, one
thing you'll need to get used to is that CVS doesn't do exclusive
checkouts but rather merges. This always freaks people out who are
used to exclusive checkouts but really it's quiet convenient and works
very well (even on large projects).
