[openbeos] Re: Protecting 'in progress' folders from anonymous CVS

Thanks - I wrote those. :-)

I don't mind keeping them open - if someone wants to read and understand

I wouldn't be leary - the way I see it, if I feel good enough about submitting 
for review by team members, anyone should be able to see it.

Anyone feel differently?
