Re: Access Control and ViewCVS

Thanks for the information. I didn't see anything in ViewCVS that would
support access control, but I just wasn't sure.
As far as a browser-based checkin/checkout, I guess that doesn't really
make much sense to begin with. Since there is essentially no working
directory, the browsing tool would need to play tricks like creating a
temporary workspace into which the upload would be accepted and then
committed. If this was a good idea, then I'm sure ViewCVS would have
implemented it long ago for CVS repositories.

Thanks,
Tony
