RE: Re: Suspending commits

Why not branch, and build from the branch?

        Subject: Suspending commits

        Does anyone know of a way to globally remove commit rights to
svn for a short period ?

        I would like to prohibit anyone from committing new code during
UAT testing (one day a week) without my prior authorisation. All users
should remain free to update/checkout during this time, and would be
free to commit outside of this timeframe.

Take a good look at svnperms.conf and svnperms.py: you can use them with
a pre-commit hook, and set them to disable commit permissions for a
while. Alternatively, simply set up a pre-commit hook that automatically
fails and complains "busy doing UAT testing".
