The only problem I have ever had with CVS with regard to the number of files
was recently when I tried to add the latest version of boost (on the order
of something like 20K files) into my repository. I got some weird error
during the commit that made no sense (I was using TortoiseCVS via a remote
desktop at the time, and I don't know if either of those had anything to do
with it). I resolved my problem by committing subsets of the code at a
time. I never bothered to investigate if the problem was due to
TortoiseCVS, Remote Desktop, or CVS itself.

Typically, I use the CVS command line client. But when I do use a GUI, I
strongly prefer TortoiseCVS over WinCVS (ugh).

I used to run CVS on Linux, but I had constant headaches with it, and the
filesystem crashed and burned on me at least 3 times. I finally got fed up
and switched to FreeBSD 5.x, and have _never_ had a problem with it since --
it just keeps on going and going...
I use CVS 1.11.22.
