Russ,
Just curious - do you have a way to enforce this?

We're coming from CVS, where we use the taginfo filter. We let regular
developers commit anything they wish and they can tag files "test"
and/or "testdemo". Only certain folks (not developers) are allowed to
manipulate qa, prod or demo tags. We also have more tags that are
maintained by scripts. Then we have tags for our framework (vs. app)
files - currently 7 different environments. Config files sometimes have
up to 8 branches.
Cheers,
Jim
