The latter is incorrect; CVS does have a notion of project and handles
files that are in one revision but not in another. Files shared between
projects are also no problem.
CVS is a layer on top of RCS. It doesn't actually work without RCS.
I run CVS for a shared project on a remote server (using ssh for
encryption) across a 28k8 link, so I cannot comment on slow checkout
times.
