No CVS user can permanently delete any files that are under CVS control 
without direct access to the repository.  All files that are under CVS 
control are merely marked as removed but still have the full history and 
you can access the old versions.

As long as you don't have the repository on a share somewhere, it's safe 
from permanent deletion of any files under CVS control.
