I sometimes have heard complaints like that on emacs-devel. I guess that must have been from doing other things. It is hard to see that simple one-line command doing that. If you kill the cvs job while it is doing a commit, it leaves the directory locked. Or at least, that was true in the past. Now I think these locks get unlocked automatically after some period of time elapses, so the problem is not really severe any more.
