Ahh, yes, source control. The bane of my existence. In my year of working at Laserfiche, I never did manage to use it properly. Fortunately, they never trusted me to work on any relevant projects, so it was less of a concern. :)

I forgot to mention I'm trying to use CVS with SolidWorks files, which doesn't work so good. It's really not happy with me. But I finally got some of the files to commit! Not all of them, but it's a start.

If it makes you any happier my common solution to source control is to copy the files I changed to somewhere else, delet the entire tree, checkout again, open the "somewhere else" files and save them to the tree, and then commit.

I nuked my tree at work this week twice because I didn't like the way things laid out. I pretty regularily blew away my entire tree when I was doing research with prof Thom. I don't quite get CVS but the Mudd qref helped me through. If you're using winCVS though I understand the frustration, I tried it a bit and decided I was happier at the command line.
