Actually, we don't use ACLs at all. We simply tell them "only commit in your designated area". We haven't ever had a problem with that approach. Even better: if the committer gets a +1 on a patch from somebody with "full" access, then they can go ahead and commit outside their area. It makes it very easy when the contributors can commit their own patches :-) Cheers, -g --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
