13 I'm a little confused about what you're saying here. I totally agree,
14 there are exceptions. That fact has been stated numerous times in
15 these threads, and I don't think anybody disagrees.
16
17 Regarding avoiding a hard requirement, there would certainly be no
18 need to "cvs commit" to get around the checking done by repoman.
19 Personally I wouldn't be opposed to an option similar to -I to prevent
20 developers from accidentally submitting such changes. Both -I and the
21 new flag are for overriding repoman's QA checks. IMHO that is
22 something that should be done seldom enough that it's not asking a lot
23 from developers. Do you really think it would be that painful? :-(
