Some more command/term comparisons:

Edit works well for Perforce (edit and checkout are same for Perforce).  VSS
calls it checkout.  I think edit works well for all.

Perforce uses the term "revert" for "unedit".
VSS uses the term "undo checkout" for "unedit", as ClearCase does.

Lock/unlock exists in Perforce, but not VSS.
VSS checkouts are either exclusive or not exclusive, as set by a server config
setting.  It is not per checkout like Perforce and ClearCase.

"cvs edit" is the closest thing to a lock in CVS - it is only notifying
server/users of "edit in progress" for "cvs watch"-ers.
