This would let any user subvert CVS locking in the interest of
"saving time" (famous last words) and potentially corrupt the
repository.
-R would be safe if:
- it could be used *only* on operations that don't change the
repository (eg. checkout), and
- it arranged that the user not be allowed to commit from the
resulting sandbox
Failing that, it should be an optional feature chosen at
configure time -- and should be disabled by default!

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.
