No. There is no CVS store yet (it's in the TODO list).
I'm interested in having the CVS store (backend), and a CVS frontend if
somebody steps up and wants to try to do it.

Eventually, Slide relies on the transactional capabilities of the backend.
Of course, stores can implement additional mechanisms which could attempt to
do some error recovery.

I'll use the example of a database here (since there is a JDBC store
already).
Basically, if you don't configure your database to disallow direct
connections, you can directly connect to the database and change stuff in
there.
