I'm far from a cvs expert but I don't think there is any relation 
between a CVS repo lock dir and the temporary directory I'm speaking of 
here. The temp dir I'm speaking about is used as a transient storage 
space for committed files. Once the committed files are all in this 
space then the real commit process can start and this is where the 
LockDir palys a role.

See http://www.gnu.org/manual/cvs-1.9/html_chapter/cvs_20.html#SEC89 for 
more information.
