It's not necessary if you set your repository up correctly. My
repository has the following permissions:
$> ls -ld /var/cvs
drwxrwsr-x 16 root cvs 4096 Dec 19 15:34 /var/cvs
The g+s bit ensures that files created retain the group 'cvs'.
ie:
$> ls -l /var/cvs
drwxrwsr-x 4 crafterm cvs 4096 Dec 4 12:57 project1
drwxrwsr-x 4 crafterm cvs 4096 Dec 1 14:43 project2
drwxrwsr-x 4 crafterm cvs 4096 Dec 3 17:51 project3
Anyone in the cvs group should then have sufficient permissions to
access/modify these files.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Marcus
