MSDN does say this:

  The handle returned by either _findfirst or _findnext must first be
  passed to _findclose, before modification operations, such as
  deleting, can be performed on the directories that form the paths
  passed to them.

Not so important for CVS, probably, but for a general POSIX
implementation, caching yields closer semantics to UNIX.
