Yes it would. With CVS and subversion you can work on your workspace without impacting anybody and without really knowing that your CM system is tracking what you do. You could be developing on your laptop w/o network access for that matter. At commit time (when you want to share your work with others) CVS will determine what files changes and merge these with their current version in the main line. This occurs without any intervention of the VCM system. The only thing that the VCM system cannot do after the fact, is deal with renames and moves, adds and deletes. For that you need to let the VCM know. However this tracking is only local. It is scheduling for delete/add/move... It is only when you commit that these changes will take effect on the VCM repository/vob/database.

Just for my understanding of Subversion: Do you want Subversion to track each of your actions immediately? I prefer to develop (maybe without any version control system active) and if it's fine, I commit the whole project-snapshot. I'm sure, Subversion can't help me, because from the snapshot point of view, it can't know, whether I deleted directory "olddir" and created directory "newdir" or a renamed directory "olddir" to "newdir".
