The CVS distribution contains documentation of its client/server protocol.
It probably isn't that difficult to implement in DLPC given that
documentation and available C, C++ and Java clients to crib from and
the availability of the networking package.

I can't see any point in using anything more complicated than CVS in the
situation you describe.  None of the features that differentiate
distributed version control systems such as Mercurial or git appear to
be relevant and you're really not going to hit any of CVS's weaknesses.

Thats my 2 cents worth.
