Does it make sense to have mutable="true" if you are checking out
anonymously. The Bucky book tells me
"The attribute mutable is set to true because we want the projects
checked out from CVS (so we
can work on them and check in again)."
As an anon user, I'm clearly not going to check in files. Is it worng
to set mutable="false" in this case.
No, it's not wrong. Buckminster only uses the mutable attribute if you use it yourself in a CQUERY. If you don't care
about its setting, neither will Buckminster.
The intention is the same as with the source="false", i.e. to help selecting the right provider in case there are
several possible matches. A provider with a mutable status that matches your cquery has higher priority. And that's all
there's to it.
