I realize that you already found the solution (Core.SharedRepository), but: On Mon, 29 May 2006, Salikh Zakirov wrote: > > 2) I have 'umask 002' in my ~/.profile.

So use ".bashrc" instead. The reason I mention that is that this has come up before: if you need to do things like setting PATH to point to your ~/bin directory (to use your own version of git rather than the system one), or if you want to set environment variables like GIT_COMMITTER_NAME etc, you should always use .bashrc, so that you get the same answers whether you log in interactively, or whether you just do "ssh host git-cmd".
