No, it doesn't mean that.  It may mean that Greg shouldn't
use XP, but then the XP originators were emphatic that it
wasn't the right way to program for everybody.  If XP
basically requires shuffling files around, then it really
won't work well with CVS.  If it's a matter of changing the
stuff within the files, it should work well.  Just commit
after each refactor.
