Well, so what? Use the -kc flag then. It's even more transparent. You could
see the flag when you do a status or even in the WinCvs UI. When you also
see that the file is edited, you can be sure it is being edited by you only
(unless somebody messed with the file attributes but I don't think that
counts...).
