Ugly. It shouldn't be hard to do one, except that locking with rsync is going to be a pain. I had a patch to make it work with the rpush/rpull pair, but I didn't get its dependancies in at the time. I can dust those patches off again if you want that functionality included. The patches are essentially: - make the transport protocol handle things other than objects - library procedure for locking atomic update of refs files - fetching refs in general - rpull/rpush that updates a specified ref file atomically At least the first would be very nice to get in before 1.0, since it is an incompatible change to the protocol. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank*
