[Bioc-devel] Committing changes to the release branch

[Patrick Aboyoun]

Robert,
I double-checked the svn authorization file and the BioC 2.6 qpgraph 
properties are properly specified and you are granted read/write 
permission. Could you perform the checkout using --username and 
--password with your username and password to ensure you are using the 
right account information? Other developers have been able to check into 
the BioC 2.6 branch, so this doesn't appear to be a global issue anymore.
