http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.7/cvs_10.html

has a good explanation of how CVS "unreserved" checkouts work.

i agree it's spooky at first to think that different developers
are changing the same file simultaneously

i've always imagined that a pathalogical example exists of
two benign changes that when merged together form some
subtle catastrophic bug - but i've never seen one.   In practice
CVS works pretty well - YMMV depending on your coding styles
and OOP conventions
