Many ietf folks use a "open source" source code control repository at sipfoundry.org to edit drafts. The folks at sipfoundry have been happy to give accounts to any IETF folks (and given sipfoundry is littered with IETF folks, I'd be surprised to see this change :-). There are already about 160 IETF drafts in this repository. It uses svn instead of cvs. One of the nice part of that is that people who don't use svn can just use a normal web browser to get a copy of the document. For example you can see a bunch of my drafts at http://scm.sipfoundry.org/rep/ietf-drafts/fluffy/ It has been *very* useful for allowing multiple people to edit the draft at the same time (like at 2 am before the deadline) and also allow author X to see all the changes author Y made and quickly review them. The ability to revert makes it easier to propose text between authors. I really like using some SCM systems for editing drafts and encourage others to give it a try.
