That falls under the "damage" heading...

Our current CVS setup has people running cvs over ssh through separate 
accounts on freedesktop.org.  That means the repository itself is writable 
by all cvs users.  While cvs may respect acls, I'm not sure how to set 
things up to prevent people from just editing the repository directly.

Is there some setgid/setuid (yuck) mechanism I'm unaware of?  Or should I 
be using some other repository access mechanism?
