It sounds like you're going in the right direction except for one thing. You should try to install cvs yourself. It's how you learn and although you may get stuck and have to ask for help later you're unlikely to really mess things up. Besides, unless they've already quoted $40 to set up cvs for you I doubt that's what it will cost. Most hosts charge over $100/hr to perform unsupported tasks.
maybe installing cvs is supported, what most probably will be unsupported will be to deal with it in the future... that's worth to consider learning a bit of cvs tricks... even if well unless something tragic happened I hardly see anything that would require more than 1h to fix in a simple setup... provided you've cvs backups... but well this is another piece of the puzzle missing I guess ;)
If he thinks 30min of his time spent elsewhere other than learning cvs is worth more than $300 (estimated cost of: setup + *independent* recovery procedures[*] + learning investment), he can pay them $40 now and hope for the best.
