If you do a google search on CVS primer, there a quite a few web pages that take
you through the basics of CVS.  Most of them are easier to follow than the CVS
manual or man pages.

This one is often one of the first to show up and helps a lot:

I work (until 8/31 anyway) in place that uses PVCS and Visual Source Safe, so I
only use CVS for my projects at home, and I keep forgetting how to create a
project or label releases and the most of the Primers make that type of
information easy to find.
