I'm not sure what you mean here by "summary item".

CVS itself helps you avoid these merge difficulties. If you do your
work in your local cvs repository copy, you can every so often run "cvs
update". CVS will merge the new code in the central repository into
your working copy. Most of the time it does a great job (because Larry
Wall's patch program is great), but every now and then the patch just
won't work because you've modified a section of code that someone else
modified, but CVS will tell you about the conflict, and you'll have to
do the merge of that section by hand.

I wish I could figure out a way to do that too. :)
