RE: is it possible to close a development branch?

[eric.berg]

Another option might be to use the commitinfo file in the CVSROOT admin
module to check to see if the commit would be to that branch.  You might
do that by checking the revision that would be checked in against the
revision of the branch and returning a false value from the script.
