CVS is much more complex than ssh and crucial to MPlayer development.
Some of the first part is a bit superfluous, but most of the document
is not a CVS manual, but a CVS _policy_ document that explains how CVS
is used within the MPlayer project.

There's always a tradeoff between providing too little information and
duplicating other (better) sources of information.

So in summary I still like my version better ;-)
