Yep, I know I can do it with separate repositories, I was just hoping 
there was a way to do it with a single repository.

The engineers want to be able to do all the CVS maintenance themselves 
and I don't want to give them admin on the box.  Creating new 
repositories pretty much requires admin access.  With a single 
repository they can control permissions via a remote share and 
user/groups via active directory.
