CVS uses RCS formatted files to store its repository data. In addition,
it adds some administrative files. Rather than having to check in/out
individual files, CVS handles groups of files as needed. Much simpler
than RCS alone. Source Forge projects (including one I admin) have the
option of using CVS to store revisions, so it's really not that hard.
