+1 ... we should at least log such commands, and maybe disallow to anyone
except Marc's "pgsql" account.  Particularly since they don't get
reported in pgsql-committers messages (or is that something we
can/should change?)

Meanwhile, is there anyone around who can either (1) tar up the
repository directory tree as root, or (2) confirm that a tarball
made by a non-root committer is sufficient?
