 This is from the CVS docs. I'm sure that Brian Berliner could give you more
info then this..


             cvs is a front end to the  rcs(l)  revision  control  system
             which  extends the notion of revision control from a collec-
             tion of files in a single directory to a  hierarchical  col-
             lection  of  directories  consisting  of revision controlled
             files.  These directories and files can be combined together
             to  form  a  software  release.   cvs provides the functions
             necessary to manage these software releases and  to  control
             the  concurrent  editing  of  source  files  among  multiple
             software developers.
