Provided the files were all in the same directory, you could do it
with file permissions with the standard Unix CVS.  If you need better
granularity than that (eg. give him a branch with a just a few files
in it) then cvsnt has that with its ACL system - still directory
based, though.

It might be more trouble than its worth, though.  If you're really
that bothered about the new guy seeing any source code it might be
better to give him a machine with the files copied onto it...  if the
PC is networked it's a fair bet he'll see the entire repository on
other machines anyway.
