This worked reasonably well as long as I was the only one using it. But
when I tried to let other people commit to the repositories, the

Suffield, and some other very helpful souls. They said that this was a
problem for sysadmins to solve, or at least for a sysadmin to point out
what arch needs to do to enable a solution.
The trick I use is to make an account just for an archive. I then add
each developer's ssh key to that account's authorized_keys.
Thanks James. That might work in my case, but overall it doesn't seem
to cover each of the 6 cases I mentioned. For instance, if I only want
one user to be able to commit, but want only a particular group of
people to be able to do checkouts, how can one tell arch about the
permissions scheme?
How SHOULD one be able to tell arch about the permissions scheme?
POSIX ACL's may be nice, but requiring Linux to use arch would be
locking out a lot of *BSD users who would never let us hear the end of
it.
