Are you sure? `info cvs` says on page "C.3 The commit support files": :: `loginfo' :: The specified program is called when the commit is complete. /usr/bin/cvs is neither suid nor sgid. Did the user typing `cvs commit` have write permission below /var/www/webapp? If write permission below /var/www/webapp is indeed the issue biting you, the simple solution is putting /var/www/webapp into the same group the repository belongs to - the committing users need write access to the repository anyway, so additional write access to the web tree will cause little additional harm.
