No, sorry. We once tried it, but it never really worked. Actually,
to me CVS is rather uncomprehensible (and a bit too complicated ;-).
I'm having enough trouble downloading something from a public CVS
server when I have to. Add to that the complications of getting the
required versions os various tools needed for building (the
generated files are included in the source archives, but shouldn't
be in a CVS).

Besides, I don't think CVS solves any real problems here. When a
conflict arises, it will report it, but one still has to sort it out
manually. I can do the same with diffs.
