There's
the actual files ownership/permissions.
However, cvs doesn't want me to commit as root. So even when

Of course, you can do what you wish.. simply modify the source code of cvs.
The GNU license specifically allows that. As a matter of fact, I believe

cvs won't let you commit as root since it can't tell who
cvs will not let you commit as root. If you would like to change
