[cvsnt] Re: Any possibility to control branch acl on a per-file level using a "cvs chacl" -like command?

[John Kinson]

You're right Glen, the commitinfo hook could be used for this.  The 
script is invoked with the first parameter containing 
"/repository/module[/subdirectory/...]", and a list of files being 
committed within that directory is supplied on stdin.

Kim, you need to write a commitinfo script as discussed in the cvsnt 
documentation that checks whether the CVS_USER environment variable 
matches one of your two authorised users, and if not, checks whether the 
restricted files are present in the supplied data.  If they are, then 
your script should return a non-zero value to prevent the commit from 
proceding, and return 0 otherwise.

If technology doesn't seem like magic,
it's probably obsolete.
