Become that user (you may need to do something like 'su - userid' where
userid is what the user who left had as a login.

Checkout a tree, go to the particular files that it used for the 'cvs
watch' or 'cvs edit' and then do the inverse operation of 'cvs watch
off' and 'cvs unedit' those files.

I suppose that there really should be a 'cvs admin' option to remove
edit and watch advisory actions for a given file. Feel free to submit
a patch that does this.

        Good luck,
