Not based on experience. I always do multiple cvsups with a timed sleep between until I get two in a row that don't checkout new, modify, or remove existing files. Usually three is sufficicient; the first updates my local source and the second and third confirm that I didn't checkout during the middle of a commit. Every now and then, I'll have to do a fourth as the second will modify a few more files.
