There are existing tools to publish from CVS to a website.  However, I use
Mozilla and FrontPage to edit content on websites directly rather than
modifying some sort of replica.  It's just easier that way, especially when
you're dealing with a web of interconnected pages and stylesheets as opposed
to a monolithic piece of crap Word document.  Anyway.

It would be nice if changes made to web pages on IIS (or even apache) via
frontpage extensions or web DAV triggered a commit to a cvs repository.  Is
anyone working on something like this?

I guess the poor man's solution is to turn the inetpub\wwwroot into a CVS
sandbox and schedule commits once an hour say.

Secondly, I need to figure out how to get existing content into CVS without
adding the stupid _vti files and folders and other IIS administrative
garbage.  I guess I'll have to write a script for that.
