You can turn that off and it'll be back to normal operation.

You could do either: 1) Turn off atomic commits or 2) Change user permissions to be full for all repository module dirs and restrict the top-level module creation with a script. I think the commitinfo event would do it, but I'm not sure--check the docs, it's probably been done before. Regards, -- Glen Starrett
