I'm looking for something like Eclipse's Team Synchronize so people can see what they'll get before they update. What do you suggest? I also think it would be a good idea to learn how to do some operations with the command line too.
First: Strictly speaking, none of the tools quoted here so far are CVS clients. So, I'd be interested to hear what particular operations you think are slow in WinCvs. The real bottleneck is usually the CVS protocol itself and that will behave the same regardless of which GUI frontend you use. Also, what exactly do you mean by "has no merge dialog"? WinCvs integrates nicely with WinMerge also as conflict editor. And if you were talking about executing Merge operations you use the Update command which has a "Merge options" tab For previewing updates there are also several approaches in WinCvs: If you just want to see which files would get updated you can use the Query Update command cvs -n up or if you want the details you can simply Diff using WinMerge against HEAD also works on multiple files and folders.
I've had both Tortoise and WinCvs installed for years but usually find that I do not use Tortoise except when I feel guilty about not getting what all the fuss is about It's all a matter of taste I guess, especially whether you prefer an integrated solution that tries not to get in the way over a standalone app that forces you to make conscious decisions about your version control tasks.
WinCvs for me does all I want and more, but then I'm probably considered a power user and a heavily biased one at that as I used to be a cvsgui mailing list moderator and FAQ author and also wrote many of the stock macros.
Then again, there hasn't really been any active development on WinCvs for quuuuiiiite some time I was also searching for this currently. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

Collaborator seamlessly integrates with the CVS version control system. This section provides a general overview of integration preferences, ways to review files controlled by CVS, and so on.
Using the built-in Collaborator CVS integration, you can quickly upload various files to the Collaborator server to create a review directly from the desktop client of your choice. The types of files you can upload include:. That is, integration supports all protocols, authentication settings, proxies, and other configuration specifics. We support these versions:.
It does not require any CVS client to be installed. Click Add to create a new SCM configuration. In the subsequent SCM Configuration dialog , specify the local source code location. Several options will become available. These are specifically tailored to configure CVS integration. Once ready, click Validate to make sure the integration is operational. Select it, then click on the corresponding button depending on what you want to do next:.
In the Command-Line Client, you can create a review for changes you have applied locally to files controlled by CVS — before uploading these to the version control repository. You can also upload arbitrary CVS diffs if needed. The addchanges command will upload local changes to files controlled by CVS before they are checked into version control. For example, the following command creates a new review and adds all changes in the current directory and below, plus the foo.
Try testing your configuration to verify the configuration is detected correctly. If the Command-Line Client is unable to detect your CVS configuration or you want to override the detected settings, you can manually specify CVS settings using global options. With this, you can upload locally modified files to a review directly from the plugin. To learn more, please see Add to Review Wizard.
