It's not blatantly obvious that everyone knows how CVS works.
There's a lot of people here who are very smart people and very talented
developers but view CVS as a black box. There's nothing wrong with that.
But, because they are so smart, they ask questions. If I say "Don't do that
with CVS", then they ask "Why?". If I can't explain it sufficiently, then
they won't internalize my prescription and they will eventually do "that"
anyway. We don't have a formal CM group here but I am the de facto expert.
At least they are smart enough to ask me before doing something different
with CVS.
So, I always explain the reasons why one should treat the CVS repository or
CVS commands in a certain way.
