Thanks Mark.

I'm a little confused however.  Must you have a list of every user to
excluded from a branch checkin?  Wouldn't it be better to have a list
of users who CAN check into a branch?  It would seem smaller in size.

My Perl is a little new, can you explain what files contain the
usernames for the following code segment?

# Disallow commits by some users to given branches
foreach $arg (@files) {
    if (index($arg, ".") == 0) {
        next;
    }
    if (grep($_ eq $cvsbranch{$arg}, @locked_tags)) {
        print STDERR "Branch $cvsbranch{$arg} is not allowed for $login\n";
        exit(1);
    }
}


Thanks again.
