Hmmm. Do you know a shortcut for me to find them to check out?

In fact, I dont want it to behave exactly like WinCVS. Most of
all of the other CVS GUI frontends (jCVS, SmartCVS, LinCvs, WinCvs)
try an approach thats is too technical for the end user. I really
love the command line, but well you see too much of the dirty details...
I didnt want to go to far into details but just draw a sketch of a
java-frontend-gui-thing roadmap.
My first concern is the low level layer. I think I just wanna try out some
stuff and probably code it fucking but. But I just want to see how
it could work and wether it works at all...
