As others have commented, CVS was designed to be used without
locking, without screwing you up in the process.

Because CVS doesn't want you to use the locks you've been
setting, the documentation doesn't describe them in too much
detail. Grab the latest RCS distribution and read its manual
pages, especially the one for the "rcs" command.
(Of course, CVS does internal locking to prevent concurrent
updates from trashing the repository, but that's another story
completely. Unless something goes wrong, those locks never
persist beyond a single "cvs" command, and are rarely visible to
the user.)

"Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything!
I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
