I'm curious; why CVS instead of something nicer like git (or mercurial, which has good windows support)?

My sibling commenter is giving me too much credit - I started before git came along, so it was either CVS or SVN. I wanted to be able to kill directories directly from the repository, so CVS it was.

CVS doesn't store revisions locally so it takes a fraction of the space.
