This is very bad IMO, as if multiple systems are in use, CVS is almost
always a legacy distribution system.
Also, what about the RCS use-case where the ,v file is a sibling of
the controlled file? That's even closer, and even worse!
While I see the logic behind your suggestion, I think what should be
done is to ask the user. For one thing, I can see a use case where
you are maintaining a variant version of an external library as a
subdirectory of your project. In that case, your changes should
normally be managed by the higher level SCM, and the local SCM will be
pull-from-upstream only, until your patches get accepted.
