A file-locking tool for git should be able to use a centralized locks database (for example, one can imagine a simple PHP script hosted somewhere independantly of the Git repo, keeping a list of locked files up to date). That needs to be integrated with Git, but it should probably still remain out of the Git core, because different users would want different locking databases. Hooks and git-* commands in the $PATH are probably sufficient. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
