No you don't.  CVS is not a security application.  It was not designed
to be one and it cannot ensure any (i.e. not any at all) level of
accountabilty.  None whatsoever.  Nil.  Zilch.  Zip.  Zero.  Negative even.

If you think otherwise you are sadly mistaken and seriously fooling
yourself into a complete and utterly false sense of security.
