But that's no good - its error prone, and it puts the onus on the user to get it right. If I'm a cvs administrator working with lots of newbies, I don't want them to clutter up the archive with a bunch of junk. That's why I suggested '.cvsblock'. Its simple, separate, solves a usability question and is newbie friendly. Experienced people (administrators) would create it, newbies wouldn't even know its there. And with true ACL, you could make it so only the administrator could change it, or maybe block it on the server side.
