1) you might look in the archives for this discussion which has been had many
times before. http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2002-02/msg00575.html
especially follow:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2001-10/threads.html#00350
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2001-10/msg01024.html

2) understand that locking is not the model used by CVS:
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.7/cvs_10.html#SEC83

3) for a fuller understanding of CVS start here:
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.7/cvs.html
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.7/cvs_1.html#SEC1

4) look at some of the troubles you will have and the way others have solved
them: http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs
http://ccvs.cvshome.org/fom//cache/126.html 
http://ccvs.cvshome.org/fom//cache/120.html (I think the answer here might not
be quite right though, I think the commands done only change the sandbox)
