Fix for bug in script posted for restricting checkins to branches

[Shubhabrata Sengupta]

I had posted a script on this mailing list, to restrict checkins to branches. I have found a bug in the script which would prevent checkins to branches which have not been 'locked' in some cases - for example when you have files like main.c and newmain.c in the same directory. I have fixed it and I am posting an updated version of the script. If you are using the script then please replace it with the updated version.

 

Please also note that I have not tested this script for filenames having spaces

Thanks

Subject: tag protection

 

Hello!

The branch security works great, but there is the next danger to CVS repository,

anyone can delete a tag, also the name of branch (anyone who have write access),

it can happen in large environment where its not possible to control everyone. The

lock-branch script was very helpful, maybe there is similar script lying arount to

protect tags from delete operation?

 

Many thanks!
