# acl.py - changeset access control for mercurial
#
# Copyright 2006 Vadim Gelfer <[e-mail]>
#
# This software may be used and distributed according to the terms

#
# this hook allows to allow or deny access to parts of a repo when
# taking incoming changesets.
#
# authorization is against local user name on system where hook is
# run, not committer of original changeset (since that is easy to
# spoof).
#
# acl hook is best to use if you use hgsh to set up restricted shells
# for authenticated users to only push to / pull from.  not safe if
# user has interactive shell access, because they can disable hook.
# also not safe if remote users share one local account, because then
# no way to tell remote users apart.
#
# to use, configure acl extension in hgrc like this:
#
#   [extensions]
#   hgext.acl =
#
#   [hooks]
#   pretxnchangegroup.acl = python:hgext.acl.hook
#
#   [acl]
#   sources = serve        # check if source of incoming changes in this list
#                          # ("serve" == ssh or http, "push", "pull", "bundle")
#
# allow and deny lists have subtree pattern (default syntax is glob)
# on left, user names on right. deny list checked before allow list.
#
#   [acl.allow]
#   # if acl.allow not present, all users allowed by default
#   # empty acl.allow = no users allowed
#   docs/** = doc_writer
#   .hgtags = release_engineer
#
#   [acl.deny]
#   # if acl.deny not present, no users denied by default
#   # empty acl.deny = all users allowed
#   glob pattern = user4, user5
#   ** = user6
