Yes, many people in the Division use TortoiseCVS. There are a few challenges
to get past at this stage:
1) Setting up the repository. On your own computer? The colleague's
computer? An independent machine? The Web server? (do not make the
repository itself a Web server)
2) Making the cron job efficient. The more often you can poll and apply the
changes to the public directory, the less time you will have to spend
waiting for changes to appear on the Web.
