Happens very rarely, actually, since I sync my cvs repository at least
3-4 times a day from freefall.  But yes, if I think I'm going to run
into anything like that then I simply don't use the "cvscommit"
convenience function, I toggle do-remote-cvs once and do cvs commit
followed by cvs update if a conflict comes up.

I guess it comes down to whether or not you consider thwacking the
CVS/Root file easier or the CLI option easier - it's sort of the same
to me given that I've been using the aformentioned shell functions for
so long that the "stateful model" works for me more than having to
think of different cvs aliases depending on whether I'm working
locally or remotely.  But I'm willing to concede that this comes
entirely down to what one considers easier. :)
