If you run a cvs watchers on any of the files exhibiting this behaviour
you will see that besides the explicit watches (which you set using the
cvs watch command) there are also so-called temporary watches
(identifiable by a "t"-prefix), which get set automatically when
someone cvs edits a file. I don't know if there is a way to disable
this functionality but OTOH I think it /does/ make a little sense, even
though I also did not expect it when I first toyed around with watches
and notifies...
