nope, no can do -- working directories are per person.

You can update your working directory to incorporate the other users
checked in changes at any time you please -- just run "cvs update".
They can do likewise.

The repository is your shared "directory".

The ability to concurrently work on the same files in the same project
and the ability to share changes between users pretty much sums up the
reasons you are using CVS in the first place (as opposed to some other
versioning tool)!

"Update early.  Update often!"  "Only commit working and tested code!"
