For a decent CVS client you may want to try Eclipse. It's huge install for 
just to be used as a CVS client, and still somewhat a pain (perhaps it's CVS 
that is the pain) but the best CVS client i have seen so far (i did use 
WinCVS in the past and the interface in Eclipse is better, at least for my 
brain )
