You can split off a branch (cvs tag -b ken_tylers_53c7xx_changes) and
cvs upd -r ken_tylers_53c7xx_changes

And then work with the repository as normal. Your commits will not disturb
anybody else that checks out the trunk. If the changes are stable enough to 
go into "public" you can merge them into the trunk.

Of course, if somebody wants to work with your changes, he can checkout
your branch, too.

I propose a branch for every "project" e.g. CV64/3D driver, 53c7xx.c, ect.
