Alas there is no synchronisation between CTM and cvs. Theoretically if you cvsupped at the same time as the person who makes the CTM deltas and you created the .ctm_status file yourself with the right number in it then you'd be right. However if you cvsup 1 minute later a couple of files somewhere in the tree may have been changed and then future CTM deltas would fail to apply. So no, you cannot use both CVS and CTM. Use one or the other but not both.
