Version Control Account Status -
Require users to submit a motivation text and meet approval of
version control administrators before their VCS account is enabled.


SHORT DESCRIPTION
-----------------
This module changes the VCS account form so that users need to submit
a motivation text instead of directly registering their accounts.
Until the account is dealt with by a version control administrator,
accounts receive the "Queued" status. The administrator can assign any
of the following account status values:

VERSIONCONTROL_ACCOUNT_STATUS_QUEUED:
  The user has applied for an approval, but the VCS administrator
  hasn't yet looked at the application.
VERSIONCONTROL_ACCOUNT_STATUS_PENDING:
  The administrator needs more information from the applicant
  in order to properly evaluate the application.
VERSIONCONTROL_ACCOUNT_STATUS_APPROVED:
  The application has been evaluated and approved,
  and the user may have access to the repository.
VERSIONCONTROL_ACCOUNT_STATUS_DECLINED:
  The application has been evaluated and disapproved.
  The user can, however, reapply.
VERSIONCONTROL_ACCOUNT_STATUS_DISABLED:
  The application had been approved in the past, but was revoked.
  The user doesn't have repository access anymore.

For all other statuses than "Approved", repository access will be denied.

Version Control Account Status depends on the Version Control API module.
