Deny access to all directories named "CVS"?

Can someone give an example of how to deny access to all directories
named "CVS" that may exist in a site using a single .htaccess in the
site's root?

If it's also possible to specify that this particular directive is not
to be overriden by nested .htaccess files, it would be helpful to know
how to do that, too.

Thanks,
Jamie

Got the first part solved with:

<Directory ~ ".*/CVS">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Directory>

Could still use help in preventing this directive from being
overridden.

Thanks,
Jamie

....can't you just DELETE those directories? What are
those there for?
A nice find . -type d -name "CVS" -exec rm -fr {} \; looks
faster.
