Re: how to implement user level security in cvs ?

[Muhammad Shakeel]

Dear Noel,

At the moment i am interested only to  refresh the ACL when we tag a file.
Because the loginfo script u sent me does not refresh the ACL when i insert
a tag on  a file or files. CVS actually removes the ACL information from
that tagged file or files because it recreates the file in case of tag as
well, like the case when some one check in a file. So it was a requirement
to run a script through  taginfo administrative file.

Can u please help in this regard.

Regards,
shakeel
