well I wasn't aware of it before I started coding, but yeah I looked at it, it
looked a
little bit more complicated/'batched up' than I wanted (ie: you've got other
changes
that don't relate to acl.) Also I wanted something simple, wasn't sure how easy
to use
your solution was.
Anyways, I'm not against your patches (ie: if they are the standard acl for
cvs, I'd be
more than happy to use them), but I had a couple of questions:
1) is your acl mechanism backwards compatible with existing cvs
clients/servers?
2) how do you use your acl?
#1 is key for me - I need something where I don't need to download a new client
for
everyone who wants to use ACL. #2 is pretty important too - I want something
centralized,
one file that I can check and see at a glance who has access to what. If #1 and
#2 holds
for your patch, then like I said I'd be more than happy to use it.
