I can certainly understand how hundreds of active branches with many
developers could begin to cause access contention issues with CVS.

The multi-site capabilities of BitKeeper are inherent in the way it
allows any developer to take a copy of the repo and work on change sets
independently of any central repo.  In fact with the right development
model/process I'd guess that you could simply eliminate any central repo
completely.
