BUG: different command prompts seem to have "cross-talk"

Yeah you really can't do two operations on the same sandbox
at the same 
time... no locking...

edit is particularly bad as it uses temp files (CVS/Notify)
to store its 
data, so anything that sees that thinks there's an aborted
edit 
operation and tries to complete it, resulting in a mess. 
Rewriting edit 
to remove that file is one of those things I've got on my
priority list.

Client side locking isn't something I've really thought
about as cvs has 
never had it and nobody has complained until today  
Definately 
something to think about in the 2.6 timeframe (need to start
writing 
these down somwhere as there are lot of them).
