This is possible--the file to modify is CVSROOT/commitinfo, to run
some script for a specific set of files.

I'm not sure this is available.  It might be possible to look in
CVS/Tag to find the branch tag for the file.  I don't know whether
that file is certain to exist when commitinfo is run, but it seems
that it might.
