>Description:
cvs refuses to "cvs init" a new local repository without the current user being 
part of a bogus group called "cvsadmin"

This is pointless (and undesirable) behaviour, since it enforces a specific 
mechanism and policy on cvs users.


>How-To-Repeat:
$ (cd /tmp/foobar;cvs -d :local:/tmp/foobar/test init)
cvs [init aborted]: usage is restricted to members of the group cvsadmin
