The POV-Team uses Perforce, a commercial source code management system.
While CVS might be nice for a small project, it lacks many features
mandatory for professional development (just compare CVS and Perforce
feature lists).  Note that this is not the exclusive opinion of the
POV-Team.  Another very popular example is the Linux kernel, whose source
code is managed with the commercial source code management system BitKeeper
rather than CVS.
