Admin/info hooks for "cvs admin" and "cvs import" you can find in my
optional "RSE-patches" contained in the OpenPKG package for CVS:
http://cvs.openpkg.org/openpkg-src/cvs/cvs.patch.rse

Controlling "cvs add" is currently not supported, but this usually isn't
a big deal. I just run a little cronjob once per day to remove empty
dirs from our CVS repositories...
