Re: How to make the "tags" folder immutable?

I believe the Python based pre-commit access control hook might be
able to help. I believe it allows you to mark a directory as
"add-only". That is, you can create a new directory via "svn cp", but
won't let you modify the files on that directory. That means you can
let people create tags, but not modify a tag once they create one.

I have a Perl version that does the same thing over at
<http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/433257/hooks.zip>.

Basically, you can mark a file/directory (using Perl regular
expressions to specify the file or directory) as either "read-only",
"read-write", or "add-only" and who has those permissions. We use this
to "lock" branches down, but still allow a small team to make changes,
or prevent users from accidentally modifying a tag.

The trigger will also verify that properties are set on particular
files (again, you specify that with Perl regular expressions, prohibit
certain file names, and even make sure that the commit message is
formatted correctly.
