No, a gnome-vfs cvs module would be one of the last steps. The first
step would be figuring oujt a good UI design for presenting versioned
files (both layers on top of the filesystem like CVS or RCS and
filesystems capable of inherent versioning like directly accessing a
cvs repository or a WebDAV site with the versioning extensions. The
second step would be designing a gome-vfs level API for versioned file
systems. Somewhere after these would be possibly implementing a
gnome-vfs module if that turned out to be the right design.
