In pecking around on a Debian install I noticed a package called
cvs-conf that looks pretty nifty.

It apparently interfaces system files with CVS and provides wrappers to
deal with metadata (permissions and ownership).  Oh, it uses make on the
backend to do all the heavy lifting.

Unfortunately, it's poorly documented with only a basic usage file and a
corresponding Makefile (which I suck at understanding).

Has anyone used this package for managing system configuration files
through CVS?  If so what was your experience like and did it work out
for you?  Is this a good foundation or should I just write my own?
