Re: Documentation about the 'Lock' feature

actually CVS works very well for this... Basically what I want is to
have the files checked out read only be default and require them to
lock them prior to working on them.

Now I like some of Subversion's features... Especially the browse
feature... And it seems it will work just fine. There is an entire
section in the manual on how to do this.

However is it possible to prevent users that have write access from
changing file properties...? that is where I am confused, because at
first look it appears anyone with write access can change any of the
file properties?

Or am I missing something.
