Re: Locking to prevent changes to a branch?

I am also trying to accomplish this with my existing hook script. I
would like users to be able to *create* new tags, but never modify
them. I'm not 100% sure of the correct logic, though. I would like
to understand what needs to happen in the hook script regarding the
path/revision/transaction checking, etc. Many people have directed me
to the existing perl or python access-control scripts that are bundled
with subversion, but I'm trying (on purpose) to do it the hard way.

Anyone have any clues?

I would like to build this into my existing hook script, so I'm trying
to understand the logic.
