CC will checkout your "build file" and then run your build file (aka any 
command line).
It is up to your build file to have the targets to grab the rest of the 
code from version control and build it.

Often:
- nightly: deletes everything and does a fresh checkout and build, and 
product release (docs, packaging, CD image whatever)
- continuous: just does an update and tries to build the programming 
artifacts (something that can be run)

I first used CC with C++.make and CVS back before it hit version 1.
