AFAIK, there are none that intentionally don't have it (at least usually every file and directory there has the repository group as owner). The usual quick and dirty rules are: - For fetching, +r for all regular files, +rx for all directories. - For pushing, +r for all regular files (but +rw for regular files under /logs/ if any), +rwx for all directories. BTW: '/branches/' is used by pre-1.5 remotes stuff and pretty much totally obsolete. -Ilari -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
