On my previous post to this thread, I'd just like to say that I meant nothing bad to Lars, or to bad mouth him, or anything like that. Lars has been a responsive person in aD and it's nice to have him around here.
Ron, thanks for the clarification. I see the slowness point now. I wonder if there's a way to setup CVS to keep a copy of branches. There probably is. I just found out that you can do ACLs with CVS a few minutes ago.
I guess the harshness of my post comes from frustration with some of aD's actions (and that "cvs in good for small teams" blew me away).
