The critical word was *start*.  Accidentally merging changes in such a way that all your pending orders end up getting overwritten is a great way to run a business.  

Frankly, I'm not sure that I would recommend that even someone experienced in CVS use it to modify production stores.  It can (rarely but potentially devastatingly) make bad decisions about how to integrate different versions of the same file (e.g. if you install contributions and then use CVS to update around them).  CVS is really intended for development use, which by its nature means that it expects to produce alpha software.  

No hitches *yet*, knock on wood.
