(in english, for everyone :-)
To help you and maybe any other people new to cvs:
I dont know what OS you are using, but there are some cvs tools around:
the first is the command line version (the standard on unix systems)
"cvs". From my experience it is very good to know how to handle cvs
with this on, cause you probably best understand what is going on
behind the scenes.

But a big repository is a good place for some GUI, which helps you not
to loose the big picture. Most GUIs show you the repository as a file
system and call the command line cvs themselves to do the real work.

There is "Gruntspud" written in java, available as plugin for jedit
(but my expierences were not the best - i dont know). Works everywhere
cause of Java.

For Windows there is the standard "Wincvs", its ok, all features are
working and its a stable tool.

A very nice thing for all Windows Explorer freaks is "Tortoise CVS": it
puts itself into explorer's context menu and marks files belonging to a
repository with a green/red overlay (depending if its locally modified
or not). Very cool. If you havent seen it, give it a try. And use
jedit-diff as your diff viewer (you need to have the jdiff plugin
installed)! Unfortunatley sometimes you have to do the diff more than
one time until all files show up in jedit, but that is definitely
great!

And I basically forgot to mention: the best feature of cvs - beside the
version management at all - is cvs diff! So have a look at it, it is
very useful.
