+====== CVS for drupal crash test dummies ======
+(or a few notes on how to actually use cvs on drupal)
+  * [[http://www.ucolick.org/~de/CVSbeginner.html|Intro]]
+  * [[http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#Introduction|RTFM]]
+  * checking out 4.6.4, 4.7 or HEAD:
+  dcv co -rDRUPAL-4-6-4 drupal
+  dcv co -rDRUPAL-4-7 drupal
+  dcv co -rHEAD drupal
+  * the newly checked-out version will be available after a
+  cd drupal
+  * diff-ing our checked-out, then modified version with 4-6-4:
+  dcv diff -rDRUPAL-4-6-4
+  * building a patch:
+  cd drupal;
+  dcv diff -up > mychanges.patch
+  * history of a file (g2.module):
+  ccv log g2.module
+  * backporting (thanks to DWW):
+<code>
+cvs co -r DRUPAL-4-7 modules/g2
+cd modules/g2
+cvs update -j 1.13 -j 1.15 g2.module
+(resolve conflicts, if any)
+cvs commit -m "backporting changes from HEAD" g2.module"
+</code>
+the key step in that command is the "cvs update -j", which means to merge the
+revisions you specified into your current working copy.
+  * dcv/ccv is a 3-line script that just does this:
+    * dcv
+<file>
+  set CMD="e:\Program Files\Zend\ZendStudioClient-5.0.0\bin\SourceControl\cvs\cvs.exe"
+  set ACCESS=-d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal
+  %CMD% %ACCESS% %*
+</file>
+    * ccv
+<file>
+  set CMD="e:\Program Files\Zend\ZendStudioClient-5.0.0\bin\SourceControl\cvs\cvs.exe"
+  set ACCESS=-d:pserver:someuser:hispassword@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib
+  %CMD% %ACCESS% %*
+</file>
+  * when patching the database,
+    * create a function in updates.inc to update existing files
+    * diff the database\database.<engine> files used for initial site creation
