CVS expects that the edit command will not complete until you've
finished editing the file.  My guess is that gvim is one of those fancy
editors that opens a new window and then ends before you've even started
to edit the file, let alone finish.  Such an editor is not suitable for
use as a CVS editor.  You should check to see if gvim has a command line
option to make it behave as CVS expects.  If not, you may be able to
achieve the same result by using a short script that runs gvim and then
does a "wait" command to wait for all child processes to finish before
continuing.
