Having not gotten a reply to this on the users lists, I re-read the
HACKING instructions, and am reposting this to the dev list (hopefully
correctly this time).
This is a patch against svn trunk to add section inheritance to the
config parser in the snvperms.py hook script.
I'd appreciate it if someone who knows the original script (or even just
python better than I do) could review it for me. In particular, I'm a
bit confused about the parallel lists and dicts in the config parser --
couldn't everything be done with just the dicts?
The log message:
[[[
Patch by: Marc Sherman <msherman@projectile.ca>
* tools/hook-scripts/svnperms.py
(Config._read): add support for section inheritance in the conf file,
with syntax [SECTION][PARENTSECTION] (the parent section is optional)
* tools/hook-scripts/svnperms.conf.example: add an example of
inheritance
]]]
