Hi there, it would be great if someone could help me out. I would like to prevent users from being able to add binary files to the repository. I tried the following with CVSROOT/commitinfo: commitinfo checks if a file contains one of the following endings: *.obj, *.exe, ... and aborts commit if a file with one of those endings is found. This works fine for new files being added to the repository, or I should better say this works fine for new files being committed to the repository. Problem is: this approach doesn't work if a user tries to remove an existing binary file from the repository. A solution would be to prevent the initial adding of the file (not the following commit after a file was added). Is there a (administrative) file which controls "cvs add"? Thanks a lot in advance for your help! Cheers, Simon
