How to setup client for CVS integration?
Answer
For each record with associated checkins BUGtrack generates a group of links on the record view page in a form of URLs with custom protocol (cvs://) which can be used to visualize changes.

Save CVSViewer.exe - 'cvs://' protocol handler locally.
Register it (run CVSViewer.exe /register) and configure template string by running:
CVSViewer.exe /template <template string>
where a <template string> is a shell command to be executed.
Following special combinations are recognized and replaced with real values:
{s} - file name
{V} - old version
{v} - new version

For example you may use the following template to open WebSVN URL with corresponding diff.

CVSViewer.exe /template iexplore.exe "HTTP://servername/viewcvs/{s}.diff?r1={V}&r2={v}"
For server setup see Configuring CVS server for integration.
