I was assuming (and my limited experience suggested) that the user that starts the server needs to have write access to the repository if commits are to be accepted (even if from syncing a clone). So if I (saul) wanted to commit changes to a repository created by David, I would have to start the server running as David (but I can't do that without his login password), or need to have been granted permissions to the database (which places us back at using group permissions). I suppose I could create a user dedicated to serving Fossil repos, but that is basically the same as creating a 'fossil' group (with additional steps required).
If I am missing out on a better way of handling this, I would be pleased to learn about it.
