really starting to like it.
Earlier in this thread someone wrote:

which isn't exactly true with CVS. It doesn't keep 2 people from editing the
same file, it keeps 2 changes on a file from interfering with each other. It
will allow you to both edit a file, but make changes to separate parts,
which is a huge advantage.
TortiseCVS is a great tool to use with it that does about everything you'll
need. WinCVS is another client tool that, while not as cool, is a different
interface with more CVS control. I also recommend downloading WinMerge
(whether or not you use source control) to track changes between 2 versions
of a file or even a whole directory of files. It's one of the best utils out
there.

And as a bonus, here's the ultimate CVS reading material:

Thanks, someone whose posts I respect on another list has also recommended
TortoiseCVS, and given a very convincing "get into CVS even if it seems
like overkill" argument. So, I may well check this out (no pun intended ;-).
