8.5. What You Still Don't Know

• The myriad of administrative commands which help you manage and maintain a source library. Most of those commands you won't need, but it's nice to know that they are available, just in case. Refer to the Cederqvist document (Section 8.6) for all the gory details.

• How to set up remote users for sharing a CVS repository on a network, especially the use of the CVS_RSH environment variable.

• How CVS integrates into development tools. We'll see this in the coming chapters; for example, CVS interaction is built into NetBeans, SunONE Studio, and Eclipse.

• How good it feels to have CVS come to the rescue so you can recover a version of something that you thought was lost. May you never have to learn this the hard way.
