So far, I've been taught that if a code base uses multiple coders the only reasonable way to enable it is to have one central person (head coder) review the code changes and implement if it fits. This is a protective measure and stops two or more coders from modifying the same area at the same time. I always thought it was a necessary thing though it slows the process somewhat.

Now I hear rumors there are security and perhaps stability problems with CVS. Any thoughts or discussion about CVS? I think ImmU needs it for Circle as a minimum and should be a standard for all the codebases used since we have multiple coders for a single base.
