-This plugin allows ikiwiki to use [[!wikipedia desc="CVS" Concurrent Versions System]] as an [[rcs]].
-
-### Usage
-7. Install [[!cpan File::chdir]], [[!cpan File::ReadBackwards]],
-[cvsps](http://www.cobite.com/cvsps/), and
-[cvsweb](http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html) or the like.
-7. Adjust CVS-related parameters in your setup file.
-
-Consider creating `$HOME/.cvsrc` if you don't have one already; the plugin doesn't need it, but you yourself might. Here's a good general-purpose one:
-
-    cvs -q
-    checkout -P
-    update -dP
-    diff -u
-    rdiff -u
-
-### Implementation details
-* `cvs.pm` started life as a copy of [[3.14159|news/version_3.14159]]'s `svn.pm`.
-* `IkiWiki.pm:wiki_file_prune_regexps` avoids copying CVS metadata
-into `$DESTDIR`.
-* [[ikiwiki-makerepo]]:
- * creates a repository,
- * imports `$SRCDIR` into top-level module `ikiwiki` (vendor tag IKIWIKI, release tag PRE_CVS),
- * configures the post-commit hook in `CVSROOT/loginfo`.
-* CVS multi-directory commits happen separately; the post-commit hook sees only the first directory's changes in time for [[recentchanges|plugins/recentchanges]]. The next run of `ikiwiki --setup` will correctly re-render such a recentchanges entry. It should be possible to solve this problem with NetBSD's `commit_prep` and `log_accum` scripts (see below).
-
-### To do
-* Instead of resource-intensively scraping changesets with `cvsps`, have `ikiwiki-makerepo` set up NetBSD-like `log_accum` and `commit_prep` scripts that coalesce and keep records of commits. `cvsps` can be used as a fallback for repositories without such records.
-* Perhaps prevent web edits from attempting to create `.../CVS/foo.mdwn` (and `.../cvs/foo.mdwn` on case-insensitive filesystems); thanks to the CVS metadata directory, the attempt will fail anyway (and much more confusingly) if we don't.
