Summary: intermittent cvs lock messages

Initial Comment:
for project clisp on SF.net,
I use
"Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17 (client/server)"
via SSH on cygwin and linux.

During CVS commit, I often get this messages:

Message: [22:06:14] waiting for sds's lock in
/cvsroot/clisp/clisp/tests

[note, "sds" is myself]

then, after a few minutes, commit succeeds.

the CVS experts looked at syncmail code and suggested
that:
"syncmail uses CVS commands to generate a diff to
include in the mail -- if it tries to do that before
your commit
finishes, it will block waiting for your commit's lock.  
I would suggest changing syncmail to use "cvs -n" for
the diff,
which will ignore the lock."
