Sorry, I forgot the [HUMOR] [/HUMOR] delimiters.
In the last year we (DTS) moved all of our DTS sample code to a CVS server.
We learned a lot about how CVS works (or not) and how the xcode integration
works (or not). We've driven the xcode CVS integration probably as much as
any other team at apple. The end result of that year is that now 99.9% of
what CVS I do now I do directly in xcode. Only occasionally do I have to do
something in CVS directly and I can never remember the terminal command
syntax so I use CVL.

I don't have the bandwidth now (three weeks before WWDC!) to write a "War &
Piece" answer about all the problems that we encountered (and resolved!)
with xcode and CVS. The "good news" is that now it "just works". But it's
not a powerful as the command line nor as nice as CVL. I suspect that
eventually we will have a much more CVL kind of interface but part of that
problem is that we're trying to be agnostic and support other source code
revision db's. That requires a lot more work that just adding CVS support.
