I don't see a problem with giving access to people wanting to work on a branch, and telling them not to commit on the trunk. We had and still have some such branches going on, e.g. for SoC students. I also gave out access to several developers to work on the docs only, or Sphinx which still is in Python's SVN repo. After all, it's a VCS, and if someone plays against the rules, the commit is reverted and the privs dropped in perhaps a minute. Georg -- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
