I don't use CVS for most papers, proposals, etc,, that I write. If the
version control was turned on with something like a chattr, I would use
it, and emacs could get rid of that damned ~ file that clutters my ls
commands of what should be a listing of only my current version of my
home directory without old versions of files being listed (the disk
space I don't care about, it is the clutter that annoys.)
