Bug ID: 5489 Summary: AclExtension: Support pattern matching for branch rules Product: Mercurial Version: 3.9 Hardware: PC OS: Windows Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: feature Priority: wish Component: Mercurial Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org Reporter: nikolaos.gki...@googlemail.com CC: mercurial-de...@selenic.com This feature wish refers to the AclExtension. However, this extension does not have an entry in the component list of this Bugzilla. I hope it assigning it to the Mercurial component was right. The "hg help acl" documentation states the following: ################################################## #Branch-based Access Control #--------------------------- # #Use the "acl.deny.branches" and "acl.allow.branches" sections to have #branch- #based access control. Keys in these sections can be either: # #- a branch name, or #- an asterisk, to match any branch; # #The corresponding values can be either: # #- a comma-separated list containing users and groups, or #- an asterisk, to match anyone; # #You can add the "!" prefix to a user or group name to invert the sense of #the #match. ################################################### The request is to implement simple pattern matching for the branch name. This would enable you to set rules for a variable number of branches matching a certain pattern. For example the hgrc entry could look like this: ################################################## #[acl.allow.branches] #release/* = @reviewers ################################################## This example would allow the reviewers group only to do work on branches whose name starts with "release/*". A question regarding a feature like this one was posted to StackExchange in 2011 (http://superuser.com/questions/249453/mercurial-set-up-acl). It was suggested to file a feature wish but I could not find one regarding this feature. So here is mine. I hope it can be implemented.
