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.
