MacCVS Pro is much simpler than the cmd-line CVS. (though you don't 
get the PB integration) Hmm, also Lane i didn't think sourceforge let 
you commit with pserver anymore, only SSH.

No fiddling with SSH Keys. (which i thought strange, but hey it works)

Grab MacCVS Pro carbon at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/maccvspro/

Rather than explain it how to set it all up, grab my file at 
http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/HexEditCVS.sit (it might be an idea to 
put this  session file in our sourceforge file list)

1. Put it one directory up from your "hexedit" CVS module dir.
2. Select "session settings".
3. Under "Checkout and Update Options" select the local tree dir (the 
dir you want the "hexedit" base module folder to end up in)
4. Under "Remote Host Information" tab set your sourceforget username 
and password where mine is (i threw a bogus PW in there for the 
distro. :)
5. Click OK, and hit cmd-; (check out default)

That should work. It apparently handles Lane's binhexed CVS files 
transparently, because I have never noticed them.

IIRC however, it does not work with the CVS cmd-line stuff yet. So, 
you will probably have to re-download your module if you are changing 
from that.

Once you get it checked out you can view CVS logs with the GUI, make 
Diffs, patches, etc. all with the menus. I particularly like the 
colored "Compare with original" view. (cmd-= on a changed file)
