That would be already a helpful statement. It would mean that the only 
configuration which is supported out of the box is setting read-permissions 
per branch and user and setting write-permissions per user?

write-permissions?

And I still wonder how approvals fit into the big picture. What I understand 
so far is that 'mtn approve' adds a branch="<branchname>" certificate to a 
revision. But how and where is it used?
