If you do "release -d" it will delete the directory that you are 
releasing.  That would, obviously, prevent you from editing, updating, 
etc.

I tend to use release just to determine if I have any modified files 
that I should check in.  The fact that you can perform CVS commands on 
a released workspace would be considered a bug by some of us 
(especially me).
