[Zope] developing with zope, vim, cvs and cadaver

[dman]

I've just recently learned zope, and it is great.  Far better than
J2EE, and faster to work with than plain old CGI.

I've got a few difficulties, though.  I use vim as my primary editor,
and I would like to use cvs to backup my work.  I can do this with ZPT
and Script objects, but it is rather cumbersome to repeatedly upload
the files through the web interface.  In addition, I can't do that
with ZSQL methods.

As I was RTFMing, I discovered that I should be able to use cadaver to
move files/objects between the local filesystem (where I use vim and
cvs to work with them) and the ZODB.  I can access ZPT and Script
sources with cadaver, but I can't seem to upload changes with it.  I
also can't access or update ZSQL methods.

Am I missing something really obvious, or is it just very difficult to
develop a zope site using some traditional tools?

TIA,

PS.  ftp isn't a viable option for this site
