Repeat after me: "CVS is not a Configuration Management System".

Good.

Now, here's a couple of ways you can use CVS as part of a CM system.

1. Arrange files in separate cvs modules to separate distributed files from
   support files. This isn't always possible, though.

2. Use a build process (e.g., "make release") that creates a distribution
   tree from a cvs sandbox. This is the better solution.
