CVS is not designed to support this use case. Its concurrency model is
among sandboxes, not within a sandbox.

In CVS, you all share the same repository. The CVS analog of sccs edit
is cvs checkout. This makes files editable by making a local copy.  You
can make a sequence of changes in isolation and then commit them as one
unit of work.

The use case you are looking for is better supported by RCS, which is
a primitive tool similar to SCCS that CVS was based on.
