One book I would highly recommend on CVS is Open Source Development with 
CVS by Karl Franz Fogel. I found it to be not only highly informative but 
an incredibly fun read as well. Each of the semi-dry CVS chapters is 
followed up by a fun anecdotal chapter about open source development 
processes and how and why they work (esp focusing if possible on how CVS 
helps that process).

I've also found it to be a better "advanced" reference than any of the CVS 
documentation I have. Somehow it just "feels" indexed better. I own no 
stock in Coriolis Books by the way. :)
