Essential CVS

Contributed by jose on 2003-06-09 from the yet-another-oreilly-book dept.

If you're like me, you use a lot of CVS, both at work and for personal projects. For example, my thesis, which was written in LaTeX, was stored in CVS. A new book by O'Reilly, Essential CVS , looks like a promising volume of information on how to use CVS. Basic usage isn't all that hard, but there are some complex scenarios CVS can really help with. A PDF of chapter 2 is online. Additionally, this O'ReillyNet article shows how to get started using the CVSROOT scripts.

Of course, you can always refer to the free parts of the CVS book from red-bean.com, as well.

From reading the same chapter, it looks like it is one of the better O'Reilly books. Very concise and a quick read, while telling you what you need to know.

I thought I'd mention it because I've read some of the worst O'Reilly books, such as NIS+NFS, and Server Load Balancing.
