[fdo-internals] PSC: Interesting Conundrum

[Dan Stoica]

Yet another reason to favour option 1:  in many cases a certain fix is
made in code shared by several providers (e.g. FdoCommon). That is, it
affects other providers as well.

I'm with Frank. Geotools and udig share the same repositories, we have 
different people with commit privs, and we have *never* had a problem 
with people committing where they shouldn't.  Even though SVN allows us 
to lock up the different trees with ACLs, we have never bothered.
