That isn't a dumb question at all. I believe it stands for Control
Versioning System. That being said, what it does is allow more then one
programer to work on the code at once. The programer checks out potions of
the code he wants to work on. Other programers can see that the code is
checked out and it will prevent them from checking out the same portion of
code later overwriting what he has done. It also allows changes to be
reversed in small increments should a problem be found later.

You will find that this is almost always used with a decent sized software
project. It also allows you to get the latest for use. Just be aware that
it is also possible to get something that just got broke.
