SO.... just have CVS emit a warning message when someone attempt to commit anything explaining the situation .. eg, "If you have not been given explicit permission to commit, press CTRL-C now!!" My point is that human error is not a resolvable problem. The system is the problem. We should adjust the system to accomodate the humans. Maybe with more 'obvious' emails to this list, or whatever. In any case, no amount of yelling after the fact is going to prevent the same thing from happening in the future with some new committer, etc. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
