So I was able piece enough from handbook pages and short videos and did commit a theme. And I did create a Drupal 7 branch and tag but what I committed is jacked and I'm sort of at a loss on how to fix it. And I have updates to my Drupal 6 release but the commits don't seem to be updating. Here is what I have in CVS: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/themes/ishalist/.
I'm using Windows Vista (I know, I know) and TortoiseCVS. Most of the examples I see online are using the command line and I wanted to know if anyone out there has suggestions, advice, or good resources to explain CVS. Maybe this could be a lab session (or two) at the next meet up?
At DrupalCon DC there was a BOF discussing getting more themers involved, but to be honest CVS is a confusing beast to get past.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ishmael

scope these CVS related links out
There's gotta be some more videos out there. Let's collect some and we'll add them to the resources page on ladrupal.org and a wiki page here on gdo. I had been doing that on the videos page of our site, but its down right now. In your case, and for other people who want to learn, we should find a TortoiseCVS video.
I got some links of cheat sheets (which I like to use):

here's a video
add1sun posted a video a while ago on creating new project releases that includes committing, tagging and releasing a new version.
Fixing mistakes with CVS is rough and I think your best bet is to ask the CVS admins for help in #drupal-support or #drupal-dev.
Thanks for the links and the
Thanks for the links and the tips. I think a resources page is a great idea.
