Generally speaking that's way outside the scope of any pure versioning
tool.  Something like style enforcement is more along the lines of
automated policy enforcment in a larger process model.  Remember:

        CVS is not an automated testing program.

        CVS does not have a builtin process model.

If I were you I would switch to using Aegis -- it offers a two-phase
commit policy and also offers the ability to require a series of tests
to complete on all commits.  With Aegis you could arrange things in such
a way that one of the tests was a style conformance test or you could
do style conformance tests as part of the second commit phase and push
any non-conforming changes back to the developer for correction.
