No, it's not a CVS problem.

However, CVS could make life easier with this as an option.

I can't imagine I'm the only developer that makes local changes to try 
something out, but wants to be sure those changes do not end up in the 
repository.

The problem with "it's a build system problem" is that the files in 
question are not a part of any build system.  They're application 
configuration files.  So, that requires me to modify the original file, 
and then make sure the original is back in place before committing so 
my changes are not put into the repository.

But, it sounds as if I'd be beating my head against the wall by arguing 
this one further.
