Dear diary, on Sun, May 28, 2006 at 11:31:41PM CEST, I got a letter where Michael Richardson <mcr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> said that... > If there is another way to solve this, please let me know. Well, you didn't write what do you actually want to solve. Why do you need to fiddle with the umask at all? The object database is considered "append-only" unless you do git-prune (and you should better not let anyone do that), thus it's enough if you set all directories group-writable. Other than access the object database, the users probably only want to update the refs - the solution is to make refs/heads/ and refs/tags/ group-writable and setgid. This is also what git-init-db --shared (or tools like cg-admin-setuprepo) should already set up for you. So, what did break? -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ A person is just about as big as the things that make them angry. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
