I suspect it must - it has to override the editors list on the server to 
reflect the new user (and quickly, before the existing editor commits). 
That's not something I've touched much though.

'standard' edit never returns a failure (multiple people can edit a file) so 
the check only makes sense when in -c mode. The old CVS used to always return 
OK no matter what the state of the edit.
