I believe cvs_acl used as a commitinfo script, would give you the ability to lock a branch. on a fedora core system `locate cvs_acl` shows a copy to be in /usr/share/cvs/contrib/cvs_acls or you could get a ".in" copy from: https://ccvs.cvshome.org/source/browse/ccvs/contrib/cvs_acls.in?rev=1.7&only_with_tag=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup Because the originating message was sent to a mailing list which is sent to many people and archives for posterity, plus it appears to be expected the original sender desired an answer, the following disclaimer is being ignored, i.e., please direct your PHB and legal team to: http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/ before people start ignoring your pleas for help.
