Do you understand the unix filesystem security model, especially as it
applies to CVS?  I think not.  There is no safe way to implement
per-file ACLs without doing them in the filesystem.

I think you are fooling yourself with false security.

In addition the whole concept of per-branch ACLs also suffers the very
same weaknesses that the current "cvsadmin" feature does.
