cvsfs is an attempt to let a user mount a CVS project like any file system. It allows you to navigate and browse through a project tree. No preparations are required on the CVS server side.

This release adds write capabilities for work files. It is now
possible to create new files and directories (and also remove them) as
long they are not in the CVS repository. This allows (for example) to
execute "make" to build a project whose files are not on the local
disk.
