I had not noticed this difference before!\n\nAll test passed, after changing the group ownership.\n\n>On Tue, 21 Oct 2008, Fergus McMenemie wrote:\n>\n>> >++ mkdir sub\n>> >++ cd sub\n>> >++ umask 002\n>> >++ git init --shared=1\n>> >fatal: Could not make /usr/local/packages/git-1.6.0.2/t/trash\n>> >directory/sub/.git/refs writable by group\n>\n>I guess this is the problem.\n>\n>Could you inspect what owner/group that directory has?\n>\n>Ciao,\n>Dscho\n\n-- \n\n===============================================================\nFergus McMenemie               Email:fergus@twig.me.uk\nTechmore Ltd                   Phone:(UK) 07721 376021\n\nUnix/Mac/Intranets             Analyst Programmer\n===============================================================\n"}]}
