Branches. I've not used branches much, but essentially you take a
"snapshot" of the codebase as it stands and assign it a branch
designation. Then when someone wants to check out "v3.2" of the code,
they would do something like:
cvs co -r v3.2 pauls_code_module
and that would tell CVS to give them the branch that corresponds with
the "v3.2" codebase.
"info cvs" will fill you in better on how to make and manage branches.
