Is it possible to do that and how? Thanks Making the corresponding subdirectory of the repository read-only using the operating system's settings (chmod or acls on GNU/Linux, for example) should be sufficient to give read-only access to a project. You will then continue to be able to checkout or export, but not commit to that project. Write access to LockDir will still be required though. -- Girish Kulkarni - Allahabad, India - http://athene.org.in/girish
