Re: CVS file permissions

This appears to happen if anyone, including someone with just an anonymous

Should anoncvs users be able to do this? It seems to me anoncvcs users
have too many rights.
I agree I don't think they should. Read-only access should mean exactly
that. It's slightly a shame, because it wouldn't be unreasonable for even
anoncvs users to see when particular files changed. I guess they should
just use the ecos-cvs list and filter it themselves if that's what they want.
Unfortunately I don't know of any way to prevent it, other than changing
the CVS binary. I would ask the s.r.c overseers for their thoughts, but I
suspect they'll just tell me to report it to the CVS maintainers, so
that's what I'll do.
