Doesn't this effectively negate any benefit of using groups? For example, in
our setup we want full-time staff to have general access to most of the
repository, and co-op students to have access only to those sections of the
repository they are working on. Certain sections of the repository are
3rd-party sources protected by an NDA, so only specific people (including
both full-time and possibly co-op students) have access to those sections.
How would you accomplish this by using a single group? We can't use
cvs_acls, because it only restricts access on check-in, not on check-out.
