cvs stand for concurrent version system and is a system that enables a lot of programmers to commit their changes to a source project into one central repository. it has a lot of nice features, like being able to see who changed what and where, how a file looked like x days ago etc... i suggest you take a look at www.cvshome.org
if he gave you a url, it was probably to some viewcvs or webcvs script, which is an online frontend to the cvs repository. usually, you browser/make changes/work with that repository using command line utilities

1) you don't need to register at that HP :/
2) CVS is (as svara said) _very_ good for development in teams, because the sources are maintained on a server, you can get old versions out and blahblahblah. If you want to install and use CVS, look at the document here:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=766&group_id=1
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/
These 2 should supply you with the nneded infos and knowledge
