Well that would all depend on how you set this up. I think for interactive machines using this method is probably not a good idea since a person could potentially get access to the repo. That said I have not gone through the code more than to bookmark it myself for further/future reading and use. If your interested in a guide for setting up a secure repo for git this popped out first for a google search (YMMV etc): http://ssteiner.wordpress.com/2008/12/21/installing-secure-git-with-gitosis/ My repo's currently are all standalone for the moment I haven't decided if I want to have something online or what but I am slowly moving all my old programs and interesting files into my git repo for ease of use etc. > very interesting program though, thanks for sharing! Hey thats what we are here for! At least I have always felt that even thorny topics shared here have been productive in helping each other expand knowledge we may or may not have a good handle on. An ounce of prevention... and all that. - Brian
