[Monotone-devel] permission denied for new user and no reason

[Boris]

I added a new user to a project. However he can't connect (to a central  
server) but gets a "permission denied" error. The file read-permission  
basically looks like this:

pattern "com.example.project*"
allow "user1"
allow "user2"

pattern "com.example.project.tests*"
allow "user3"
allow "user4"

When user4 connects he sees this:

mtn: warning: protocol error while processing peer a.b.c.d: 'received  
network error: denied 'user4' read permission for  
'com.example.project.tests*' excluding '' because of branch  
'com.example.project.tests.a''

I see the same on the server side:

mtn: warning: error: denied 'user4' read permission for  
'com.example.project.tests*' excluding '' because of branch  
'com.example.project.tests.a'
mtn: peer a.b.c.d:port write failed in working state (error)

As far as I see the error message doesn't make much sense: If user4 has  
read-permission for com.example.project.tests* he should have  
read-permission for com.example.project.tests.a, too?

Everyone uses monotone 0.31. The server is running on Solaris, the clients  
use the Windows-port and I Cygwin. I had no problem like that before  
(although I haven't heard from user3 yet if he could connect successfully;  
there is no problem however for user1 and user2).

Any ideas?
