CVS does work on a file level (aside from a diff
option I recently found, it knows nothing about the
contents of the files).  This shouldn't be a problem
since most compilers and people work on a file level. 
Why does your boss want to version methods?

Visual Age did this.  AFAIK, IBM saw the error of its
ways and moved towards the more traditional file-based
versioning.
