Well, I do. A version control system allows me to work on several versions
of software at the same time.

So do I. A version control system allows 10 devs and 3 alpha testers to
always have the latest files.

As a self-taught beginner, I did fine with the specifics of CVS just
reading the man pages and the online docs. I learned how to set up a
repository and do simple things like check out a working copy, make a
revision and then update it.

What I had trouble with are some of the basic concepts of version
control which either isn't explained well or doesn't really touch on
web projects in the CVS docs.

I found this particular article helpful with the concepts:

Also, the online docs for subversion, which is based on CVS were
extremly helpful to me. It helped me to understand why repositories
are set up in a certain way for real world projects.

I ended up switching over to subversion, but if I had to go back to
CVS, at least I'd have some understanding of why version control
systems use things like tags and branches.
