[cvsnt] Newbie -- CVS vs. Filesystem

[Trip Kirkpatrick]

I'm new to setting up and administering CVS (have used M$ VSS, but only 
as an end-user, and enough to dislike it) and I'm not grokking how we 
should handle deployment of dev files to a staging or production server. 
Somehow, this seems like a pretty basic CVS concept that I'm missing: 
Where in the filesystem are the latest up-to-date files? If we fix one 
line of code in one file, where is the file we need to push?

Example: When I edit (locally) the root file for a website and commit 
the changes, I see the edits on my local webserver, but when I look at 
the remote webserver, the change is not on the page. What am I missing?

Using TortoiseCVS as the client, FWIW.
