For any repository, when you further run "git config" to update it, .git/config always exists with the permission bits initialized when "git init" was run there. And Eric's change is to propagate that same bits to a new file, so there wouldn't be any difference, no? And $HOME/.gitconfig should not be governed by "sharedRepository", and that was the primary focus of Eric's change, I would think. -- 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
