No, it assumes the system actually works. With a real operating system,
verifying writes is nearly impossible: rereading the file would likely
get the results from a cache, not directly from the disk, and most real
OSes don't have any kind of user-level write verification (it's taken
care of at the system level). Even if you could do write verification,
it would be so slow that I doubt anyone would ever do it. After all, an
unreliable system isn't much good for anything, let alone CVS.
