Scott,

Karl Fogel was kind enough to make the CVS parts of his book "Open 
Source Development with CVS" (http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html) 
available on the web.   It is quite good, though I have found a few 
mistakes.  The Cederqvist manual (http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/)  
is also available.
