Actually, I think that CVS does know who the user is
- or, at least, it should be relatively simple to add that.

I.e. two levels of (in)security:
(1) authenticate multiple real users to use the same OS user
    account via SSH or the like, all to connect to the CVS server.
(2) now have the CVS server ask for an additional level
    of authentication, so that it can tell CVS users apart.

But, again, you have to trust the CVS code to accomplish step (2)
properly, without bugs or holes.
