Oh, and a bit of backfill here. The above comment assumes that the developer
is capable and responsible :-). Personally, I tend to always trust anybody
with commit access (which sets a bar right there), and let them do their
work as they see fit.
Trust is a big thing for me. If developers don't trust each other to do the
right thing, then the whole project loses productivity. I can go on about
this forever, but the main point here is that I feel that installing rules
and procedures is a blatant slap in the face, saying that "you must follow
these rules because we don't trust you."
Cheers,
