So does this mean that I can't merge back into the main branch ... that you have do do that? In CVS anyone with devel privs could commit to the main repo ... or am I mising something?
Either the RM or their automaton will need to do the merge.
This is a deliberate model change from CVS which both allows
more people to do more development tasks without waiting for
approval, and allows the RM to say "show me the code" before
accepting it into the final release tree, if they want.
It sounds like this is quite a shift of power, if I understand correctly, from a group of trusted developers to a single director who chooses what goes in and what doesn't. Do I understand correctly? Have we had problems in the past that will be alleviated by this shift of power? -- Owen
