Like I asked in the thread about the freeze/unfreeze feature: what happens to a client committing to a frozen repository? Will it hang until unfrozen (or client-side timeout)? Or will it fail immediately? If it errors out, will the error message be configurable (as is possible from the start-commit hook)? (I like the proposal to "move" the start-commit hook, but just wanted to react to this bullet in the list because I'm not at all sure that "freezing" is a good alternative here (or at least it needs to be fleshed out a bit more)). -- Johan
