It should not worry you. cvs gets it correct.
Read the manual on how cvs does locking.
The existing locking system assumes that
everything underneath is working and everything
is allowed to run to normal completion. In the
event of temporary failures such as network
outages or power interruptions, or even if the
user types ctrl-C, you see partial commits
recorded in the repository after the customary
clean-up of the locks.
Yes, that is true. The user may abort during the
commit operation. However, a network outage should
between client and server will still see the
commit finish is most cases. Power failure on the
server will potentially leave you with stale locks
and partially committed files.
