Like someone else said about checking in and checking out...

The main problem it looks like you're having is that you're working from 
within the repository directory.
Create a CVS repository somewhere and work from somewhere else.  Check 
the code in.  Check it out to work on it and scp the final files off to 
production right before checking in when you're done.

You can also set up remote CVS access and check the code out right down 
to its final destination.  That's the nice thing about scripting 
languages in that you don't have to compile, you can just check it out 
and run it as is.
