These four lines should come after "---", as you will have only one commit in the history for this topic, and the original and the version 2 won't be there. > diff --git a/builtin-init-db.c b/builtin-init-db.c > index 2854868..f49fea0 100644 > --- a/builtin-init-db.c > +++ b/builtin-init-db.c > @@ -400,9 +400,12 @@ int cmd_init_db(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > char buf[10]; > /* We do not spell "group" and such, so that > * the configuration can be read by older version > - * of git. > + * of git.

When running "git init" without "--shared" or "--shared=<something>" in an repository already initialized with git 1.5.5 or order as "shared", I think you rewrite .git/config to use 0660. You would need something like this instead: if (shared_repository == PERM_GROUP) strcpy(buf, "1"); else if (shared_repository == PERM_EVERYBODY)) strcpy(buf, "2"); else ... > + /* > + * Mask filemode value.
