Because when CVS changes user to the actual user, it also changes group
to the user's default group.

I think you want to do ``chmod -R g+s $CVSROOT'' -- having the SGID bit
set on a directory causes any new files or subdirectories to inherit the
directory's group ID rather that the current process's.
