I do agree that cvs has its drawbacks but there is OpenCVS (cvs
reimplementation by openbsd folks) which seems to be actively maintained and
its authors promised things like atomic commits etc.

I think that switch from gnu cvs to opencvs is painless and should be done
(once the opencvs is in usable state) because

1) its actively maintained
2) its BSD licensed
3) might have some features gnu cvs doesnt have
