=======================================
Hi,
I think there is a bug in "update.c" that prevents file "read only" from propper working.
By now I can remove all access rights except "r" with "chacl" and all files still come
writeable to the local hard disk when checking out or updateing. A trace with "cvs -t -t -t update"
gave me the hint, that the find_perm function gets called with the tag "1.1...." instead of the
real branch or NULL. So the fallback access rights "rwc" are returned -> You allways get writeable
files. As far as I understood the attached patch (simply exchanges vers_ts->vn_tag with vers_ts->tag)
should fix this.
If I am right, could you please add the patch as we rely on correct access right handling
on branch basis.
Thanks
Michael
