With svn:

svn merge --dry-run -r BASE:HEAD .

With cvs:

Prior to using cvs, set up the CVSROOT and EDITOR environment if not set up already.

$ export CVSROOT=/path/to/cvsroot
$ export EDITOR=vi

There are only a handful of CVS commands that you need to know to get everything done to control a project. All the commands share a common general syntax of:

$ cvs [-d cvs_root_path] command [command-options-and-arguments]
  1. init: Create/initialize a project.
    $ cvs -d /path/to/cvs/PROJECT init
