but i don't think "man cvs" will help. (nor does "man freedom")

aren't there projects there that are already read-only for other devs ?
why ?
what makes tom schouten's approach better (sorry ts that i keep abusing 
your way of usage: no criticism intended): overwriting any changes made 
to the CVS via a daily cron-job ?

we talked him into that.
we are currently restructuring development at the iem (this is: using 
collaborative development of projects with cvs-alike systems).
we try to minimize administrative overhead: for us of course; but also 
for other people who obviously felt the need to put "iemlib" into the 
CVS (which i think was a good idea) and who now have to manually (or 
scripted or ...) sync it with the releases.
