ViewCVS (http://viewcvs.sourceforge.net) provides some of this
functionality.  Not that I've used it other than to do anon CVS browsing on
sourceforge and I certainly haven't installed it or anything.  It claims a
number of features in addition to cvsweb.  I don't know if it does checkin
stuff as well (it claims to need only read access which suggests not).

Then there's subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) which wants apache
as its server interface and claims to be pretty nifty.  I'm looking at it as
an option here but just looking so far.
