Friendlier user interface

If you don't remember the syntax of cvs diff you just type cvs -H diff and you will get a short description of all the flags. Just cvs -H lists all the sub-commands. I find the commands less cryptic than the RCS equivalents. Compare cvs checkout module (which can be abbreviated to cvs co module) with co -l RCS/*,v (or whatever it is you are supposed to say -- it's a year since I used RCS seriously).
