Keep an eye on http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=8435 (the
nascent and currently rather frail and naked CVSSupport project).
There's a piece of code (a commitinfo script) in its repository at the
moment that currently restricts commit access to the main trunk, but if
you know perl somewhat this can be easily hacked to restrict access
based on just about any criteria you like.
The intent of the project is initially to get some kind of a sane
interface layer (in perl at least; possibly other quickish cross
platform languages later) to the bizarre *info triggers into which
anyone could snap "plugins". Ultimately I hope this project will drive
the official development of a better trigger mechanism in the official
release of cvs, but until it gets there, this should help out somewhat
with requests of this kind.
Cheers,
Laird
