Hmm... I've been doing it for so long, I don't even think about the
different ways to do it.
How about we start this way - you ask specific questions about what you want
to know, and keep track of the answers you get. Once you've built up a few,
submit a patch for the documentation.
One I find very useful, and which I _think_ is documented, is:
cvs -nq up
This gives you a list of files that need to be checked in, updated, and
"unknown" files - the ones that you may have forgotten to check in.
