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 version enables an ioctl interface (though only the retrieval of
the file version is supported). The utility "cvsctl" has been
introduced to support this. Also, some bugs have been fixed.
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.
This is a bugfix release. A bug that caused the daemon to loop forever if the
depth of the CVS tree was greater than 1 was fixed. Updating to this version is
recommended.
A major rewrite of the kernel module and the utilities was made. All network access was moved to a user space daemon, making extending and debugging easier. It would be possible to add other file system sources such as CVS over SSL in addition to the supported CVS pserver method. All files read from the CVS server are now cached on the local disk, and cvsfs gives read only access to the CVS repository. You can also direct programs like 'ls' or 'cat' to retrieve a specific version of a file from the CVS server.
