Set the ownership and permissions of the CVSROOT directory
appropriately: no one can check out files in a directory unless they
have read permission on the directory and no one can commit files in a
directory unless they have write permission on the directory.

Permissions are only effective at the directory level, so you can't have
different rules for different files in the same directory.
