Hello, I'm trying to execute git init and git clone operations on a linux client that mounts a Netapp volume with NTFS Security Style. Meaning the client is Linux based but the filesystem is managed from Windows side - especially linux chmod operations are not permitted. Maybe a new CLI option might be helpful to skip those chmod operations. $ git version git version 2.34.1 ERROR git clone $ git clone https://github.com/git/git.git Cloning into 'git'... error: chmod on /mnt/git-clone-test/git/.git/config.lock failed: Operation not permitted fatal: could not set 'core.filemode' to 'false' $ git config --global --replace-all core.fileMode false $ git clone https://github.com/git/git.git Cloning into 'git'... error: chmod on /mnt/git-clone-test/git/.git/config.lock failed: Operation not permitted fatal: could not set 'core.filemode' to 'false' ERROR git init $ git init hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call: hint: hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name> hint: hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command: hint: hint: git branch -m <name> error: chmod on /mnt/git-init-test/.git/config.lock failed: Operation not permitted fatal: could not set 'core.filemode' to 'false' $ git config --global --replace-all core.fileMode false $ git init error: chmod on /mnt/git-init-test/.git/config.lock failed: Operation not permitted fatal: could not set 'core.repositoryformatversion' to '0' $ cat .git/config [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 $ git status fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /data/care) Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set). Thanks&Best JH
