*PLEASE* don't use WinCVS as a base. My god, that UI is one of the worst
I've seen in a while.

SourceSafe is the only other GUI-based version control that I've used, and
it is quite nice. I'd hope to see something like that, than the continuation
of bastard UIs like WinCVS.

I imagine part of WinCVS's problem comes from how it wraps around the the
CVS client with minimal change. As a result, it propagates the I/O messages
and its working model (e.g. select a particular command to do this/that).
With a proper UI, there are many intuitive ways to avoid that nastiness.

[ If the author of WinCVS is on this list, I apologize for being blunt. But
  the UI really *does* need some help. ]
