Good stuff Philippe
I don't know if you're familiar with this or not, but CVS has something
called "tags"
A "tag" in CVS is a snapshots of all the files in time. It would
alleviate the need for all the diff's and tarballs you've been worrying
about.
See:
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&q=CVS++tags&btnG=Search
Tags are great for milestones (such as software releases) as well as
before and after major changes. Typically before a major change
affecting many files is done, the tree will be tagged like
"majorchangename_PRE" and after done, "majorchangename_POST"
