Cheat sheets are a compressed list of useful commands, functions foreclosure, overall helping tips in order to help accomplishing a certain task. This GHOP task would be to create such a cheat sheet on using/maintaining/developing Drupal, and contributed modules via CVS. Using this cheat sheet these basic tasks should be able to be done without the need to lookup the handbook.

An initial suggestion on what should be included on this sheet personal loan:

Basic CVS tasks should include the following tasks:
- Checking out different versions of core
- Checking out modules to directories, with respect to branches, tags
- Overview of naming conventions for tags, branches

Advanced CVS tasks should cover:
- create a project
- branching a project
- tagging a project
- checking out a given branch
- creating a patch
- merging a patch
- upgrading a module, what happens if we modified a file (M tag druing cvs up, how to circumvent it)
- moving directories/files (often a nasty thing because of lack of CVS analogue to "svn mv"

The task is complete when a sheet (with at most two sides, so it can be printed on one piece of paper) is assembled in US letter size, and a downloadable pdf and png is presented payday loan and accepted.

Use a design that can display much information, for example similar to those below on ilovejackdaniels.com, but feel free to come up with your own approach as long you provide the required information.

Resources:
As a draft looks cool, ODT is a great format besides png and pdf. Later on you could reduce the margin and aim for a compact layout.

Content: As a general remark, most of the sections could use some examples, not just the descriptions. Like include how the actual full CVS command looks like, so one can see in a blink of an eye how it works. Same for the tags and branches, include an example there too.

The next step would be also to include the full CVS command for checkout debt consolidators, which includes the CVS root and add the abbreviations for CVS commands.
