[cvsnt] ACL not working properly

[Bo Berglund]

First of all:
:local: means that you are totally *bypassing* the CVSNT server and you use
your local workstation cvs.exe to dig down into the repository files to
get the data.
In all likelyhood the permissions that the *server* would have used to
validate the cvs operation will be totally overlooked in this scenario.

:local: should not even be possible in a properly set up cvs server
because on such a server there should be *no way* that the users can
access the repository files via the network in any other way than through
the cvs service on the server.
If you are able to use :local: then you have defined a SAMBA share on the
repository and this is an *unsupported* and stongly discouraged setup.

I have now tested a lot with both the latest version as well as the last 
"stable" version of cvsnt
I am connecting to my repository either via :local: or :ssh:
My repository is sitting on  a linux box.

The results are always the same.

If a user is set (via chacl) not to have read access to directory  
dir0/dir1/
When the user checks-out dir0 he still gets dir1 with all it's files, 
just non of dir1's subdirectories.

Very strange behavior.

Any body else seen this, or have any suggestions?
