Heh, that's generally everyone's feeling when they first see it. I generally recommend the "open" CVS book (as opposed to Cederqvist): http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/ it's available online in HTML and has such useful stuff as "a day in the life of..." and command-line reipies to do general bits and pieces. The diagrams are ascii art but effective. jan PS. You'll probably find that a whiteboard map plus deciding how you're going to set up your branches for a particular project vital. Doing "ad hoc" branches is ok once you get the hang of things but frankly having a consistent naming strategy at the outset is a lifesaver. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 http://ioctl.org/jan/ Goedel would be proud - I'm both inconsistent _and_ incomplete.
