A sample session
****************

   As a way of introducing CVS, we'll go through a typical work-session
using CVS.  The first thing to understand is that CVS stores all files
in a centralized "repository" (see Repository.); this section
assumes that a repository is set up.

   Suppose you are working on a simple compiler.  The source consists
of a handful of C files and a `Makefile'.  The compiler is called `tc'
(Trivial Compiler), and the repository is set up so that there is a
module called `tc'.
