The only time you get to configure CVS is when you create a new project. If you
made a mistake in your settings, the only way to recover is by editing the
.kdevprj file manually. (Not an easy task).  Unless I have missed an option
somewhere on KDevelop (possible)....

I had a C project (Project_X) which I had been working on for several months. I
came to a point in the project when I discovered that I needed a series of
routines from another program (Project_Y). So I loaded Project_X into KDevelop
and did a Project->Add existing File(s) .... and brought in a file from
Project_Y .... KDevelop added the file into Project_X, but did NOT add it into
the CVS repository.
