I agree, the tabs look great, though I was not able to access pages other
than the tab page.  Was that intended?

You can also use cvs ci (instead of commit) to checkin a file.  And if you
wish to avoid having to use VI for comments (especially if the comments are
only one or two lines, or you don't care about line breaks), you can use
the -m option to include your comments on the command line.  For instance:

cvs ci -m "These are the comments for the file I'm checking in."
filename.ext
