Yes, I can set commitinfo so that he can't commit anything to the
repository, but for him to be able to checkout I have to give him
write-permissions in the directory, and so he'll be able to do just anything
he wants anyway, allthough not via cvs!
I can't se a good way to deny him write-permissions in the repository and at
the same time allow him to checkout! Would I have to set up a pserver just
for him, or get a shell that doesn't allow him to do anything else than run
cvs?!?!
