Re: Secure a sub-directory in a subdirectory ...

[Noel L Yap]

Please read the manual regarding permissions within the repository.  IIRC, they
should be:
   Those needing checkout-only privileges should have r-x permissions on the
   repository directories, r-? permissions on repository archives, and rwx
   permissions on LockDir directories.
   Those needing checkin privileges must have rwx permissions on the repository
   directories, r-? permissions on repository archives, and rwx permissions on
   LockDir directories.

According to my test, once you set up LockDir, no-one can checkout. In other
words, the repository become read-only.
So is there any way to make a repository read-only to the majority of the
users while it is still commitable to authorized group or individuals.
LockDir doesn't seem to serve the purpose.
