What do you think the difference > should be between a tag, a branch, and a copy? For me, I think the native ACLs are insufficient. I want to say something like "tags are write-by-copy-only" -- i.e., you can create stuff in a tag by copying from elsewhere, but you cannot 'write' to a tag. Right now you can only assign things as read-only or read-write, and that's just too course-grained for my tastes. I think this is what Kent is complaining about. I suspect that if SVN had more fine-grained ACL controls (and had a sample default ACL that made tags write-by-copy-only) that would make his life easier... Or at least solve his biggest gripe. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH warlord at MIT.EDU PGP key available
