CVSup is by far the most powerful tool possible of its kind.

However what you are asking to do is quite literally impossible.  CVS is
not architected to be distributed -- it must have one central master
repository and any slave repositories really need to be read-only.

No.

If you really want to be able to use separate repositories cleanly I
would suggest that BitKeeper is your best alternative to CVS.
