The typical method is to write a commitinfo script that you teach how to
identify the user making the commit and to examine the files that are
being committed using something like 'cvs -q status' to determine the
branch they are and then apply whatever access controls you find needful
and return a non-zero exit code from the commitinfo script if you find a
user that should not be committing to your branch(es).

There is a thread on this subject in the archives.
