To the best of my knowledge you cannot do this with CVS.
In CVSNT (gpl like cvs, runs on linux/unix/windows/mac etc) handles this
via the keywords admin file:

Subject: Adding copyright to all files automatically when added
for thefirst time.
Hi All,
I have a small problem where I want to add some content(say
Copyright) to all the files which are added for the first time.
I can copy the copyright content manually to all new files
but this is tedious manual task and even if the copyright changes,
its a big problem to update all the files.
So is there a way to add something like $copyright in the new
file and it will be substituted from a file automatically when a new
file is added to the CVS.
(example : $copyright - defined copyright.h)
$Id means it adds the user name who modified the file each
time :) So I want something like that.
Thanks,
Manoj
