Yes, I think that is a much better idea. Perhaps they aren't that popular among this crowd, but it seems silly to develop in this direction and not at least consider people storing actual ACLs (or even other extended attributes). An already-standard format like that produced by 'getfacl' should make this pretty trivial (and handles regular unix permissions at the same time). -Peff - 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
