Hi Kumar, 
that´s the way, I solved this problem:

I created a file called "branchwatches" and added it to the 
CVS-repository.
Each line of this file is a triple of the form path,branchname,mailadress
I made it "self-outchecking" like the most CVSROOT-files.

Then I put a line into loginfo to invoke a script I called 
"aftercommit.pl".
It is placed in the CVSROOT-module and also "self-outchecking" (noted in 
checkoutlist).
This script parses the "branchwatches"-file and checks file by file, if 
the commit is 
into a path and on a branch, that is written in the "branchwatches"-file.

This works fine and as a side-effect, this allows directory-watching
(CVS only serves file-watching).

Greetings  Heiko
