Those who are allowed to "git push" into it should be able to write there. It is a different matter that "git" program itself may make a policy decision to disallow some operations that the filesystem bits alone would have allowed (e.g. you can arrange the "pusher" to only come over the wire via "receive-pack" and "receive-pack" may deliberately lack support for writing into $GIT_DIR/config). -- 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
