Holding commits till review

From: Blair Zajac <blair_at_orcaware.com>

At my work, we have a review-commit model. I'd like to try something
like this that uses Subversion's txn support.

1) Developer does work.
2) Developer commits.
3) Commit system notes that developer's commit needs review and
   a) Keeps the txn in the database and quits.
   b) Runs a modified commit-email.pl on the txn to send out a review
      request.
   c) Quits without deleting txn.
4) Somebody reviews the changes and say OKs it.
5) The manager goes to a CGI interface to the repos which lists all
   the outstanding txn's and selects the txn to apply.

This is nice because then you know the exact commit being applied to
the tree. Normally in CVS you do the review and the developer may have
made some more changes to the modification that were not reviewed and
checks that in.

Is this possible? Would it work in this case?

1) Developer 1's commit gets saved for review and later commit.
2) Developer 2 has special access and commits immediately.

I'm guessing that invalidates 1's txn?

Also, do the txn's store the time that they were created in
server time so they can be properly sorted? You don't want
client time, because that may be messed up.

Best,
Blair
