Neither "locking" nor "temporary labels" are a concept supported by CVS.  And
adding tags to the whole tree is a very expensive process, not only for the
master CVS server but for every one of the thousands of mirrored CVS archives
around the globe and the poor bloody official CVS mirrors that have to
distribute those thousands of updates.  It's not something to be done lightly.
