[PATCH] cvs security versus Checkin.prog and Update.prog


From: Mark D. Baushke
Subject: [PATCH] cvs security versus Checkin.prog and Update.prog
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2003 19:14:18 -0800

Hi Folks,

I was just revisiting the thread about the CVS/Checkin.prog and
CVS/Update.prog for security. The two relevant threads seem to be:

    http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-cvs@gnu.org/msg00384.html
and
    http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cvs/2003-03/msg00107.html

I have not really finished writing updates for the documentation of this
proposed patch yet, but I thought I would float the idea to see what
folks think of it.

This patch the choice to be up to a given repository manager with the
default being to be more secure.

Comments?

        Thanks,
        -- Mark
