Rather than cluttering up the wiki page, I'll ask some questions and 
make some suggestions about the CvsConcepts page here:

1. You mention serving hg repos via cgi or by running hg serve. Earlier 
versions of hg could pull directly from plain http file servers. Then I 
think it broke. Is it working now? If so, that's a valuable feature.

2. You say that CVS "cannot handle binary files at all." It certainly 
can, so I'm guessing that you're just saying that it doesn't store 
changes to binaries as deltas?

3. The page should probably mention newline issues, and those $things$ 
you insert in source files that get substituted by CVS during a checkout.

4. The ssh-based authenticated access won't help Windows users much. Hm. 
I guess the assumption would be that they would all be inside the same VPN?

5. I added rsync as an alternative to push.

Again, great stuff.
