For the uninitiated(quoting from the cvsbook), CVS is a 
version control system. Version control became necessary 
because people wanted to compare a program's current state 
with how it was at some point in the past. 

For example, in the normal course of implementing a new 
feature, a developer may bring the program into a thoroughly 
broken state, where it will probably remain until the feature 
is mostly finished. Unfortunately, this is just the time when 
someone usually calls to report a bug in the last publicly 
released version. To debug the problem (which may also exist 
in the current version of the sources), the program has to be 
brought back to a useable state. Restoring the state poses no 
difficulty if the source code history is kept under CVS.

Apart from version control, CVS also enables collabration, 
which makes it an important tool in every open source 
developer's toolbox.
