Good luck with it and congrats if it works out. Maybe you can post something to the FAQ? If so, be sure to include a BIG caveat for things that can go wrong and other stuff with this solution (eg CVSROOT will not be used, umask should be set to 022 at least to prevent multiple people modifying the same file at the same time (oh, but that'll cause problems with the CVS subdirectory and its files), people should specify files to "cvs ci" to ensure that only their files get checked in, ...).
