Why?
It's certainly not the prescribed solution, but is it harmful (other
than the risk of editing error)?
What else does a "cvs remove" do other than removing the entry in
CVS/Entries?

What about other admin files in the working directory? I need to move
the repository to a new host. If someone has a CVS/Root that points to
the old hostname (instead of the DNS alias for that host, as
prescribed), is it safe to simply "echo correctName > CVS/Root" to avoid
checking out again?
