[development] Announcing cvs_deploy.module

[Sean Robertson]

Can your describe in a little more detail exactly what this module does? 
  I already use CVS to get all of my sites (I have a setup script that 
creates the vhost on our server, sets up the database and user, and 
downloads drupal from CVS).
