CVS makes files read-only to remind you to use 'cvs edit' (or the gcvs
equivalent) before editing files.  If you disregard CVS and readd write
access by hand, other developers won't know when you've edited files.

You can use 'cvs watch off' to disable the notification feature, and the
need to cvs edit files.

See "info '(cvs)Watches'" for more.
