I use CVS extensively at work, and am quite comfortable with it. The 
only things I'm not sure about is: 1) whether we all have access to do 
things like tag or make branches, or only David; 2) any subtle 
differences when using CVS over ssh (we use the pserver method at work).

Well, the idea of having branches is so that experimental work can be 
committed and worked on by several developers, without interfering with 
stable codebases. Another use would be to make a branch when a release 
is being made. This allows bug fixes to be backported to previous 
releases without worrying about new features that have been added to 
the main line.

I got my Obj-C Pocket Reference and Cocoa in a Nutshell books this 
week, so I'm looking forward into diving into Mac development. Please 
correct my understanding of how source code is managed with Project 
Builder, but can you just add the additional files into the (CVS) 
repository, and then check in the changes to the project file?
