Well, please understand that I've a day-job working as developer and I need to 
recover at my free time and collect new energy. That's why I am just not 
motivated to deal with conflicts on such a level.
It is not a problem if somebody points me at the mistakes I did (and for sure 
I do plenty of them cause I am just a human too) as long as it's done in a 
way that doesn't eat my motivation. Else I'll just to anything to block that 
negativ energy. See that as kind of firewall to protect my motivation to 
continue to sit down and hack for fun.

I am all for cooperation and I do understand that ppl like to review commits. 
What I tried to outline (maybe not clear enough) is, that I don't believe 
that it's a good idea to prevent commits. Please understand that this is a 
_plain_ technical issue since subversion just does not allow such workflows 
without sucking the one (those who commits) or the other (those who likes to 
review). This is one, if not the biggest, reason why git is such a useful 
thing since it's designed to address that by allowing the committer to just 
commit and the reviewer to decide if the commit is ok and then merge it 
to "trunk".

That's why I wrote the longer second reply to Chani to explain my reason just 
after I realized that my previous reply did sound a bit strange.

ok, I did (reconsider), but I guess we still don't have a working solution for 
the problem.
