This is kind of missing the point, which is that we are talking about
blowing away lockfiles. Having that happen frequently and automatically
doesn't sound like a particularly good idea.
One thing I'm wondering is why cvs is taking out locks at all, since
it's certainly not committing to the repository. I guess even a "cvs
update" locks things momentarily, but can we prevent that?
