Other books on CVS I've seen give lots of information on the command set, but don't really give you a complete scenario. That's what makes [Pragmatic Version Control Using CVS] so good.

Pragmatic Version Control using CVS
Version control systems don't have to be complicated, or time-consuming. This book is a recipe-based approach to using the CVS Version Control system that will get you up and running quickly--and correctly. Half of all project teams in the U.S. don't use any version control at all, and many others experience problems. But you can learn how to use CVS the right way--the pragmatic way.
Ruby on Rails Project -- Rails is a new open source web-application framework that provides everything needed to build real-world applications, using fewer lines of code than other development environments. It's a full-stack framework, so all layers are built to work seamlessly together and you can use a single language from top to bottom. Everything from templates to control flow to business logic is written in Ruby. For more on Ruby, see the upcoming book by the Pragmatic Programmers, contributors to the Rails Identity Project, Programming Ruby, 2nd Edition.
