I suggested something similar to this, but with a slightly more elaborate
protocol to keep crap from getting into the CVS treee in the first place
and to allow multiple reader/writer use over NFS.

Maybe you can add automatic mailing to the committer from the CVS log
of the last writer on the failed file?

This would go 2/3's of the way to what I suggested without requiring
the typing of a command before and after commit sequences.

Of course, the "several times a day" is clearly a reference to the
fact that there is not a reader lock, so you can't be guaranteed a
consistent state when you checkout for the build.
