This would, for example, allow Satoshi to put an "advisory lock" on the ports tree. People would still be able to check things in, but they would get a special warning message before they did it. There could be other uses, such as general information and reminders for specific parts of a code base, etc. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
