Why do you believe you need this?
It is almost always a bad idea to share checked out trees amongst
multiple users.

umask 002
This is a *NIX command to change the default permissions of newly
created files and directories. Your default is probably a umask of '022'
You may use the 'umask' command without any arguments to see the current
value.
> I aim to change those generic permissions from 644 to 664
No need. The cvs command honors the user's umask.

It is not handled in the source code. It is part of how fopen() and
friends operate on a POSIX system with regard to the user's umask
setting for the current shell.
