The interesting point is when we call into > tmp-objdir.c:setup_tmp_objdir(). The problem was that Apache was setting my umask to 113! With that: + ls -ldF ./objects/incoming-w7agmb/pack objects/incoming-w7agmb ls: cannot access ./objects/incoming-w7agmb/pack: Permission denied drw---S--- 2 apache cvs 4096 Dec 3 21:14 objects/incoming-w7agmb/ error: remote unpack failed: unable to create temporary object directory With 002 it succeeds: + ls -ldF ./objects/incoming-IbGS6h/pack objects/incoming-IbGS6h drwx--S--- 3 apache cvs 4096 Dec 3 21:19 objects/incoming-IbGS6h/ drwxrwsr-x 2 apache cvs 4096 Dec 3 21:19 ./objects/incoming-IbGS6h/pack/ So I fixed my umask and got it working, but maybe a test for "your umask is dumb" is worthwhile.
