While I can't give you an example, I can point you at rssh 
<http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/index.shtml>. It is a restrictive ssh 
shell that allows an administrator to limit which commands can be run, 
of which one possibility is cvs. It also has the advantage of not being 
restricted to only public key authenticated connections which can help 
with ssh key management and can take advantage of chroot environments.
I've used it to some success on a similar project, and hope it will help 
with yours.
