So "no routine root access", then. > >I wonder if perforce would give you an unlimited free license? > > It doesn't matter. The only stable plugins for source control on > Eclipse are for CVS or SVN. So, Perforce is not an option. Really? I thought Perforce was pretty good about integration with just about everything. Oh, well... Eclipse integration with CVS wasn't all that great anyway. Last I dealt with it, they didn't support local access, and had no intention of doing so either. > Basically, what I want is the Subversion equivalent to Mercurial's acl > hook.

A lot of false positives (documents that turn out to be not worth the time and effort to look at), and I'm starting to wonder why I trust the PDF readers. > The more I look at this, the more it looks like I'm stuck with svn+ssh. Well, teaching 'em to use SSH is a good thing too. I've worked with folks who thought "NetMeeting" was a *great* way to remotely log in to a machine to kick a daemon.... and you can't use a UNIX machine to run the daemon, 'cuz there's no way to remotely log in... *sigh* > That's doesn't solve the issue of the instructor mangling permissions on > a repository upon checkin, though.
