I dont know about this... hopefully someone else can comment on it. It would be good to be able to cvsup for a latest VM fix and then to be able to re-synchronize with CTM later. Also it would seem that CTM is not very useful for developers as they are required to update their tree before committing changes (in case what they were to change has been changed by others).
