Is it possible to lock a branch, or somehow make it "read-only"
so that no further check-ins can be done on it? In perusing
of Cvedarquist and cvsbook.red-bean.com I can't find it.
Locking branches (actually "obsolete -lock") is a common
ClearCase practice that would be nice to have here.
If not, this seems to fit into the CVS philosophy:
1. Define a new special tag (cf HEAD) called LOCKED.
2. This tag is always sticky.
3. On checkout, if the version is tagged LOCKED, then
(try to) remove write permission.
4. On checkin, fail if the version was tagged LOCKED.
