If the ACLs can't handle it that's what the *info scripts are for...  it 
may be easier to write a DLL or COM object to handle it (since you only 
then have to deal with a single program rather than multiple scripts).

This applies when you do an update -j from the target branch.

eg.

cvs chacl -r foo -j bar -a noread

will block an update -j bar, when you're on branch foo.
