0. Set LockDir in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/config

1. Initialize repository ACLs   
   a. Do not use default ACLs
   b. Set directory ACLs
      i. Make readable and executable for those that need checkout privileges
      ii. Make writable for those that need checkin privileges
   c. Set file ACLs
      i. Make readable for those that need checkout privileges
      ii. Make unwritable (for safety)
      iii. Make executable if checked out file is to be executable

2. Create a loginfo script that will:   
   a. set repository file ACLs:
      i. inherit ACLs from parent directory
      ii. inherit ACL executable bits from original file
      iii. turn off ACL write bits
   b. set new directory ACLs:
      i. inherit ACLs from parent directory

Usage: `basename $0` BRANCH MODULE ["DATE_RANGE"]
Where
        BRANCH is the branch name or "MAIN" for the main branch or "any"
        for changes on any branch within the given date range.
        MODULE is the full path of CVS directory or file name.
        "DATE_RANGE" is the date range, see examples below.
	
If no time zones are specified, the local time zone is assumed.  Note that 
CVS logs and ViewCVS show time in GMT.

Dates can be specified in free format, but the stricter the better,
i.e. 

        diffbr MAIN niti/Makefile "1998-10-03 2:55 GMT<1998-10-03 2:55 GMT"
        diffbr r3_72 niti/src "Apr 15 19:56:11 EDT 2003<"
        diffbr any niti/src/weaver/wvnamed.cc now

To obtain the latest revision, use "now" as the date range.  For the 
last revision before the given date, supply the respective date only.

For information on other date range formats, see info cvs.
