The documentation explains why you should not do that.
9.3 Cleaning Up
===============
This section gives examples of removing unwanted files in various
situations. Here is a command to remove the CVS backup files created when an
update requires a merge:
find . -name '.#*' -print0 | xargs -0r rm -f
If your 'find' command removes directories, you may find that you get a
spurious error message when 'find' tries to recurse into a directory that has
now been removed. Using the '-depth' option will normally resolve this
problem.
