For as far as I know you just get the newest cvs; copy it on top of your last alpha and when you open the webpage it will prompt for update if the core needs updating, then in the site-admin part updated modules might also require your attention.
I have not yet seen this system in action but I did upgrade a nightly build with a cvs allready.
for cvs questions search this forum...

see FAQ. RwD's description is accurate.

Is it possible to use WinCVS to upload directly to the site instead of dropping it locally?

eslord1, you mean like using wincvs as a relay between your server and the cvs repository? Because you don't have shell access to your server?
In that case wincvs would need a built-in ftp client. Does it, I don't think so? Never used wincvs though.
This would definitely be a cool project, a cvs client which acts as a relay between a repository and another machine

Valiant, basically yes. The reason I was asking is that I can download the updated CVS and update my local files, but when I upload the files back to my site it takes like 45 minutes to upload the files, I tried to upload only changed files and it still takes like 40 minutes to upload. Downloading the updated CVS information only takes tops 3-5 minutes (if even.) Hmm, I wonder if im going about this all wrong. What is the other way to execute the transfer of the CVS to my server?
Thanks
Steven

get a server with shell access. run cvs ON the server.

uploading via ftp more than a couple of files is slow, there's nothing you can do about it.
most hosting plans offer an admin menu with a webinterface to a filebrowser. try uploading a tar.gz archive, most filebrowsers allow to decompress these archives. that way, you save almost an hour.
