The only way that's possible in a concurrent editing systems is by using
_external_ project management techniques.

I.e. that person should contact the rest of his or her colleagues and
ask them politely whether or not they're working on some file which he
or she is going to be making some extensive changes.

Of course if he or she would simply get to work and make those changes,
but remember to keep runnning "cvs update" at regular intervals then he
or she might more directly learn of the benefits of a concurrent editing
and versioning system like CVS.

Knowing who has what checked out is _NOT_ going to help at all.
