This is the wrong question.

You could have the directories all be in a 'cvs' group and use
find $CVSROOT -type d -exec chgrp cvs g+s {} \;
find $CVSROOT -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;
The cvs user could belong to this group 'cvs' as well as your admin
users. New files and directories created will inherit the groupid of the
parent directory. A crontab job could go thru and change the ownership
of the files and directories in the tree to that of the 'cvs' user on a
periodic basis as additional cleanup if desired.
