Yes, it's pretty simple once you know how. There's some really good
documentation at <http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/doc/cvs_toc.html>.

Feel free to ask me if you have questions. It's a bit odd the first
time you deal with it. Creating an initial repository is particularly
annoying, more so because one does it so seldom that one forgets.

crontab -e:

	0,15,30,45 * * * *	cd $HOME/public_html && cvs -q update > /dev/null

should work.

Your call on whether you care what happens if someone asks for
<http://www.phillylinux.org/CVS/>. I deal with it by cvs updating to
somewhere else, then tarring over to public_html and deleting all the
CVS directories. Maybe there's a better way. Maybe it doesn't matter.
