I'm concerned that if a push comes in while a pull is in progress then the pull may see the pushed items before the push transaction is closed (or, more importantly, before the transaction is aborted&rolled-back). Are the opensolaris.org repositories using hg-ssh or hg-login? Who is in charge of configuring access to those repos, and setting up new repos when project teams are ready to publish? Dean
