CVS is slow.
I know. I'd probably apply my patch late at night or on the weekend,
when the chance is lower to conflict with other commits.
You can't remove the race conditions that you have when interacting
with cvs. We can only decrease the chance of being hit by making the
time window smaller. This is a side benefit of my patch. The main
purpose is to lower the overall time needed to apply patch that
modifies lots of files.
