How late is "as late as possible"?  I'm going to have a bunch of stuff to commit in a couple of weeks.  This is why delaying  branching is a headache for developers ... I personally use CVS as a sort of backup mechanism for my OpenACS work - I check in work regularly whenever I reach logical points in the development process where my work is internally consistent.

I'll say again what I've said before ... closing the repository to check-ins is a different style of working than I've seen elsewhere.

Don: I think a lot of people work this way, using CVS as a sort of backup, but there are a lot projects (namely the BSDs) that regard commits a very sacred ritual which is only done when a new feature is ready for testing.
