There is such a file, it's called .cvspass and it works well!
I think the main point which confuses you is the login process.
When you login to a repository, only the CVSROOT and the password is
stored in the .cvspass file, no actual communication takes place to 
the server. Same with Logout, it only removes the entry from .cvspass.

Just don't log out!

No, as explained above. I'm permanently "logged in" to about 20 servers.

I access the Boa repository over SSH but it's transparent to Boa.
