True, but to us, there's actually only one developer, person X. It 
doesn't matter who does what to the repository - there is a very limited 
number of developers who can access the server via SSH. And we don't use 
reserved checkouts, editors/watchers. There is no interest of "who did 
what", only "what's been developed".

You're probably right, though I'm not sure what you mean by 
accountability (I'm not a native english speaker).
