The problem is that there are subtle bugs when using a separate
LockDir (which is the case of all projects) on repositories with symbolic
links in them (which is why cvsroot was moved to / in the first place).
I'm far from a cvs expert but I don't think there is any relation
between a CVS repo lock dir and the temporary directory I'm speaking of
here. The temp dir I'm speaking about is used as a transient storage
space for committed files. Once the committed files are all in this
space then the real commit process can start and this is where the
LockDir palys a role.
See http://www.gnu.org/manual/cvs-1.9/html_chapter/cvs_20.html#SEC89 for
more information.
