Kaj,
You can do like this:
1. Add a watch on the file
cvs watch on <filename>
2. Now users can find out if someone has it already checkedout
by using flag -c to edit
cvs edit -c <filename>
The edit will abort if someone else has made a cvs edit on the file.
Unlike with cvs admin -l, with edit -c it is possible for a user to
commit changes the file if he does not use cvs edit -c, so it is not
really a reserved checkout like cvs admin -l, rather something
inbetween.
