CVS help:
man cvs
cvs -H

Finding code in the CVS database:
http://cmssw.cvs.cern.ch/cgi-bin/cmssw.cgi/

make a new CVS tag:

cvs import -m start
-m msg Log message.
e.g.:
cvs import -m "StopAnalysisHUN" UserCode /HUN-2_2_3/StopAnalysis/ akapusi start

checkout:
cvs co -r -d
-r rev Check out revision or tag. (implies -P) (is sticky)
-d dir Check out into dir instead of module name.

e.g.(1):
cvs co -rV00-01-05 -d SusyAnalysis /PatCrossCleaner UserCode /SusyAnalysis/PatCrossCleaner
e.g.(2): checkout the HEAD
cd CMSSW_X_X_X/src/SusyAnalysis/
cvs co -d UserCode //


add a new tag to a valid CVS tag:
cvs tag -<e.g. number>
e.g.:
cvs tag StopAnalysis -123456
checkout:

cvs co -r StopAnalysis -123456 -d SusyAnalysis UserCode /HUN-2_2_3/StopAnalysis

update:
cvs update

After this we have to check the code, because if another person modified it, it's possible that it doesn't run.

difference:
cvs diff


upload/commit:
cvs commit -m "I modified ..."
or
cvs tag
