Just a quick reminder that the 'old' versions of CVSNT shipped with
WinCVS have known security vulnerabilities:
https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/security.htm
CVSNT is the software that actually does the 'checkout' and 'commit'
operations - you can 'see' it running in the 'progress' window in
WinCVS. CVSNT client is bundled with WinCVS. WinCVS is the 'GUI' that
gives you the menu and dialog boxes. WinCVS itself does not do any
version control, that's what the CVSNT client is doing.
In particular the CVSNT client (and hence WinCVS) is susceptible to the
recent 'wipe SSH-2 private keys from memory' and 'diffie-hellman range
check' security issues.

CVS Suite 2009R2 (CVSNT 2.8.01) was updated on 3rd August 2015 to
resolve this.
