I've done a little more research. CVS is heavily based on RCS. It has
scalability problems (very large source trees) making for excessively long
checkout times (Xemacs is held as a prime example, mainly by the Xemacs
team). Note however that the entire FreeBSD source tree is run under CVS
(an even larger project). CVS also has no concept of a "project" per se,
or any ability to handle files which exist for some revisions, but not
others.
Other contenders, such as PRCS
(http://www.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~jmacd/prcs.html) which attempt to rectify
some of these areas.
