I've been using git for some time and love it. For open source projects there's clearly nothing currently better.

However, I am now using git for proprietary elements, which in the future I may need or want to partially restrict access to. The idea being that at my company some (junior) developers should not be given access to some elements. That means either that some full git repository should be password protected or even portions of the same repository.

Another desirable way to protect elements might be only giving clone/pull access to a repository (or portion of it) but not permissions to push in changes.

I have not seen or read much about how git deals with accesses and permissions. Can anyone point me to some documentation if some or all of this is possible?
