It would.  This has been a problem for me either and I finally switched
to have my own CVS repository belonging to my user.  This is a great
waste of disk space, but this is how CVS works.  I think however this
could be corrected without much pain because as far as I can remember,
an ``add'' command will just add a line to CVS/Entries without
even touching the repository, until the change is commited.

Unfortunately I don't have actually any time to do this, sorry.
