Sure.  I only meant in the model that I wrote that branch for.

But consider a slight change of syntax:

    repo dev/CREATOR/..*
        C   =   @team
        RW+ =   CREATOR
        R   =   @all
        option namespace.pattern-1 = dev/%/%/NS/* is @1/@3 in @2

Let's say linux and git are parent repos already created (maybe earlier
in the conf).

This conf will let you use URLs like

    dev/u1/git/NS/bar   (becomes namespace u1/bar in git)
    dev/u2/git/NS/baz   (becomes namespace u2/baz in git)

Yeah it looks like a kludge, but all I wanted to do was to show you that
it's not entirely true to say the client cannot control the namespace!
