In the CVS repository, modify the permissions of the directories
(modules) and all files and directories under that module
directory.  The repository directory permissions can be used to
control the group ownership of files in the directory.  You will
have to set the group ownership of the project directories in the
repository and they have to be SetGID so that newly created files
are created with the same group permissions as the directory they
are created in.

For example:

  chgrp -R b /path/to/repository/module
  chmod g+s /path/to/repository/module

If the project contains subdirectories, you will need to change
the group permissions of each subdirectory.  The following is
an example.

  for dir in $(find /path/to/repository/module -type d)
  do
    chmod g+s "${dir}"
  done

The above assumes that the entire project (module) has the same
group permissions.  Of course, you can customize each module or
submodule as needed.  Do the same with the a project, but make
the directories owned by the group a instead of b.
