There are two ways to accomplish this task: a) set the primary group of the particular user to cvs (syntax depends on distribution) b) set the group sticky bit on all directories in your repository: $ find /path/to/repo | xargs chgrp cvs $ find /path/to/repo -type f | xargs chmod 660 $ find /path/to/repo -type d | xargs chmod 2770 this makes new files/directories having the same group like the parent directory.
