[cvsnt] Re: cvs chacl usage problem - permission on HEAD

[Yan Cheng Cheok]

Hello all, please note that I had set write permission for non-head
branch for user yccheok. however, user yccheok still cannot commit to
non-head branch unless i turn off the readonly permission at HEAD
branch for user yccheok.

Can anyone please advice on this?

thank you.
