You'll find rwxr-xr-x a lot more useful (755 mode). The person
who checks it out should be able to modify the code conveniently.

You'd have to go and change the permissions of the RCS control files
in the repository itself. It's a very good idea to make sure all your file
permissions are set properly before you do your original CVS import.
(or cvs add of your new files). I'm always getting burned by cvs adding
Perl scripts before I've remembered to 755 them.
