I've been using version control for a long time, but I haven't used CVS much since the first day I tried Subversion.

(Git seems great but isn't the same kind of drop-in upgrade that CVS to Subversion was)

Things I forgot

• CVS doesn't do the nice recursive add that subversion does
  At the start of a project you need to run
  cvs import
• CVS expands keywords by default - this is a problem if like me you want to merge in changes from someone else CVS repository as both sites have changes teh keywords
  Disable keyword changing by updating with
  cvs up -d -ko
• CVS doesn't add back deleted directories
  cvs up -d
• CVS doesn't have a nice equivilant of svn status
  cvs -q up
  Not quite the same as it will update stuff - but it does tell you which local files have changed
• Tagging seems OK but doesn't quite do the same thing
  cvs tag
