That could be smaller half of an implementation detail of one of the two possibilities Jeff mentioned i.e. "mechanism for the puller to review changes before blindly following". It gives the transfer part. You still need a new mechanism to make that file that is tracked in the repository to be used as part of your configuration variable set after letting the puller to review and approve. A puller who blindly trust the project could use the "include" mechanism from your .git/config to include a file with a well-known name that is tracked by the project _without_ review or approval. I doubt we would recommend that in an open source setting, though. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
