How about if we allow addition only of branches matching /^REL_[0-9_]+_STABLE$/ and disallow deletion of all branches? That seems like it'd allow the one operation we will likely want to do with any regularity (creating a new release branch once a year) without going through hoops, while disallowing most of the problem cases. The problem with allowing people to create branches and not remove them is that someone might push a private branch and not be able to get rid of it. But if we only allow creation of branches that look like the branches that are supposed to be there, then that shouldn't be a danger. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
