When I grant group level write to the the cvs directories everything
seems to work except:

cvs checkout: warning: cannot write to history file
/aacustom/cvs/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied

But now I wonder, granting group level to this file opens us up to
removing these files.

I'm almost certain security remained the same. Somehow we were able to
check in and out without having write access to these directories...

I don't want to be able to do the following as any old user:

$ id
uid=105(user1) gid=20(users) groups=106(dev)
$

$ echo this is a test > /aacustom/cvs/testfile
$ ll /aacustom/cvs/testfile
-rw-r--r--   1 cvs        dev             15 Feb 25 13:50
/aacustom/cvs/testfile
$
