People asked why the API does not *enforce* a commit comment if it was so important. My answer that Potlatch would not be able to function then. Which is true (if one assumes that Potlatch would use the normal API...); because how would you enforce a commit comment other than requiring the tag be set on changeset creation? > of course, if what you meant was that because you write the potlatch > api you can reach into the guts of the database and fiddle with > changesets after they're closed... well... :-P Oh, so we didn't implement the cryptographic anti-Potlatch-fiddling measures that we talked about on the hack weekend after Richard went home?
