Possibly. Eclipse wrote its own CVS client.

We were doing something like that at one time but performance was not very
good. The Subversion (JavaHL) API that accepts multiple files for an
update seems to do a roundtrip for each file, almost like it is just a
convenience method. I am basing this on the performance, not an Ethereal
trace or anything. We got a lot of comments when we first started using
that API, so pretty much everyone felt the same.
