I don't know whether it would mess up your files or not, but it's definitely something that won't work right in general. Check out cvsup's "-l" option in the cvsup man page to keep this from happening. Or run it under lockf(1). > Sorry if these are common questions - I searched the archives but > couldn't find anything. Searching the archives is fine.
