IMHO the cvs server adds a line to the 'history' file (if it exists) for
each checkout/commit/etc.  In the original CVSROOT of serveez the
'history' file had these permissions: '-rw-r--r--'.  Any other (CVS
managed) files do have '-r--r--r--' permissions (are not writable).

Thus "read/write" just means that the file must have write permissions for
the file owner.
