Hi

We have a shared repository with the following config:

[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = true
        sharedrepository = 1
[receive]
        denyNonFastforwards = true

Users push their commits to the repository over ssh, all users are in group 1000 and so far everything seems to be working OK. However I have noticed that something seems to be strange with the permissions of the objects, e.g.:

[ram@g3 ~]$ cd /path/to/repo.git/objects/00/ [ram@g3 00]$ ls -l total 43 -r--r--r--+ 1 user1 1000 2729 Apr 19 13:13 028ade623678384fca34c51e0ea3ae91b8a50d -r--r--r--+ 1 user1 1000 10697 Apr 20 21:19 0d9f5769a65081bf95d64b0a23b62b55095f2f -r--r--r--+ 1 user2 1000 297 Apr 17 10:00 2b3138d14b41d5a01308edd32e8af5ad4c4886 -r--r--r--+ 1 user3 1000 169 Apr 9 12:03 8ab284186f0ceb450d86e3ff1eca486eb6f5b3 -r--r--r--+ 1 user4 1000 846 Apr 27 16:51 90192a4a1843e5849129312ac3bc98766c4c85 -r--r--r--+ 1 user5 1000 602 Apr 13 20:37 948b07abc15345dc31a15757cbc248fa95e49e -r--r--r--+ 1 user4 1000 435 Apr 20 17:44 a30f4ded65434a2a2d050d98657c118665578f -r--r--r--+ 1 user6 1000 818 Apr 25 04:11 a5fed2108570efb32e6db519cda92b07e91994 -r--r--r--+ 1 user6 1000 169 Apr 26 13:34 a756fb8966f4564e522471230f5bfe72e33776 -r--r--r--+ 1 user7 1000 379 Apr 9 04:59 bb60a52d841151b564267de8c37a2198a5812e -r--r--r--+ 1 user8 1000 846 Apr 16 10:55 db929d4496f84b5d7e6a5bd9aeda904bf1b3e6 -r--r--r--+ 1 user2 1000 2089 Apr 20 07:24 ddd0edf3c9b1b94e7036f44a65cf71ace1cfb2 [ram@g3 00]$

will this cause a problem when git gc --auto decides its time to put these loose objects into a pack, i.e. will they be able to be removed?

Cheers
