your absolutely right concerning the physical access to the server but on
the development machines you can use PGP disks or similar encryption tools
just in case somebody steals the computer. As soon as you check in sources
to a cvsnt server they will be stored in plain text format. As long as you
work on a project alone you can use cvsnt on the development machine
storing the data in an encrypted disk.
