If you are going to have multiple users sharing a repository, generally they should be in the same group and the core.sharedrepository config option should be set (see "git help config", or the "shared" option to git-init). I've never used that personally, though. I have always just used POSIX ACLs, with a default ACL on each directory giving access to everyone. E.g. (off the top of my head): for user in user1 user2 user3; do setfacl -R -m u:$user:rwX -m d:u:$user:rwX /path/to/repo done -Peff -- 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
