set the releases branch readonly

Hi,
 
I have the following problem.
A component has 3 branches Head, Branches and Tags.
 
If the developer checks out the component instead of the Head, he has access to the three Branches and so he can modify a released version and commit.
 
Do you know any issue to prevent us of this bad use of subversion?
 
Regards
 
Hervé Heudebert

If you are serving the repository with Apache2, then you can install  
mod_dontdothat to prevent people from checking out the entire root of  
the project.

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/server-side/ 
mod_dontdothat/

Or, if the developers don't need to create branches, deny write access
to Branches via per-directory access control.

Hervé,

 

Use a "pre-commit" server hook script to prevent modifications to your release branches by a developer.

Hi,

 

I have the following problem.

A component has 3 branches Head, Branches and Tags.

 

If the developer checks out the component instead of the Head, he has access to the three Branches and so he can modify a released version and commit.

 

Do you know any issue to prevent us of this bad use of subversion?
