1.3 A sample session
As a way of introducing CVS, we'll go through a
typical work-session using CVS. The first thing
to understand is that CVS stores all files in a
centralized repository (see section The Repository); this
section assumes that a repository is set up.
Suppose you are working on a simple compiler. The source
consists of a handful of C files and a `Makefile'.
The compiler is called `tc' (Trivial Compiler),
and the repository is set up so that there is a module
called `tc'.
