We have encountered a nagging problem, not serious, but irksome.

When users integrate between branches, they will sometimes allow a Makefile or other similar build-related file to be integrated when it shouldn't. The result is that the overnight build will break.

In general, is there a way to disallow some files from being integrated?

Any thoughts about this are appreciated! (and, yes, they should be more careful!)

Check out the "protect" command. It will let you set it up such that certain files can be modified only by certain people. If someone tries to violate protections they usually get a fairly cryptic error, but at least they don't make a mistake.
