No to the first question. The only workaround I know of is to rename the
file about to be updated, then update, then rename the file back. If you
do decide to take this approach, then I strongly urge you NOT TO CALL IT
A CVS CLIENT!!

The whole point of version management systems is to merge and integrate
changes made in various branches. That's why the "C" in "CVS" stands for
"Concurrent" - multiple developers can concurrently change files,
confident that their changes will not get lost. If you call your
software a CVS client, then I guarantee someone will be bitten by your
unorthodox approach.
