CVS is great for text based config files, and has the advantage it's in base. but it's slow at some things, and sometimes it can e.g. be nice to have access to the whole revision history whichever machine you're using.. you might find something like git or hg works better for you, or you might find CVS is fine, or you might find your current method is really the most appropriate to how you work. it's really a personal thing, try some alternatives and see which you get along with best.
