Well, not exactly. CVS only does vcs-per-file. That is, it doesn't
know anything about the interrelationship between files.
The new generation vcs', like subversion and arch does keep track of
batches of dependencies. That is, say you change file A and B (which
depends on each other), and check them in together, then in Subversion,
they have the same version number. So, if you check out by version
number, you will get all the files (and older) that got checked in for
that version.

OTOH, if you are checking out a specific file, I don't know any vcs that
will check out all files that this specific file depend on.


Actually, subversion versions the entire repository.
