Assuming you're talking about one developer working in a sandbox, yes.
If you're talking about multiple developers sharing a sandbox, NO! NO! NO!
Every developer should check out their own working copies.
CVS is designed for one person using a single sandbox, even if that single
person uses multiple CVS tools. Checkouts are like toothbrushes. They're
very good things -- just don't start sharing with others. :-)
