&gt; I've done a little more research.  CVS is heavily based on RCS.  It has
&gt; scalability problems (very large source trees) making for excessively long
&gt; checkout times (Xemacs is held as a prime example, mainly by the Xemacs
&gt; team).  Note however that the entire FreeBSD source tree is run under CVS
&gt; (an even larger project).  CVS also has no concept of a "project" per se,
&gt; or any ability to handle files which exist for some revisions, but not
&gt; others.  

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.
