- As a robustness, when LockDir is not being used, it may
be desirable to prohibit directories that look like cvs
internal lock files.

>From https://ccvs.cvshome.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=183:
Currently with CVS 1.11.15 (and I assume later versions too) it's possible
to
shoot oneself in the foot (if CVS has been configured to place locks in the
repo):
$ mkdir "#cvs.lock"
$ cvs add "#cvs.lock"
Directory /foo/bar/#cvs.lock added to the repository
$ cvs up
cvs update: Updating .
cvs update: [19:03:31] waiting for scop's lock in /foo/bar
I'm suggesting that CVSLCK would be a banned dir/file name. Will attach a
patch.

Disallow adding CVSLCK (against 1.12.8, untested but trivial: "should work")

Sounds like a plan.
