Thanks for the info.
FYI, I raised these as ccvs issues 125 & 126.

More than likely he did.  It (the multiple cvs edit thing) was one of

branches.  the basic issue is stock cvs only supports tracking one edit
per user at a time.

Assuming my schedule keeps looking good, I think I have managed to
commit
time to cvs again, so I'll see if I can take a crack at it.
