Hmmm no. It was just doing too much to grasp in one reading, especially by someone whose perl seems to have rusted a wee bit, if you've seen Jakub's reply :)

I took a slightly longer look after your mail and I grokked it a lot better. And wow... I guess you called it "paranoid" for a reason :-)

In the environments I'm catering to, every commit will be reviewed by someone else (usually someone more experienced, and having a bigger picture), so "you're not allowed to touch this file" type of thing will all come out.

All I need is to make sure the important branches can only be pushed to by certain people; the "process" will take care of the rest.
