Yes. 

Actually it's best to cvs commit the entire directory or even the entire
Mercury module.  This ensures that cvs does an "up-to-date" check, and
so you can be sure you are checking something in that compiles.

If you do file-by-file, it only checks the files in question, so you
might commit something that has a problem.

Difficulties happen if you want to commit code without up-to-date
copyright messages.

You can resolve most of them without any problems just by updating files.

It's pretty difficult to break things with "commit".
