I am new to git, but, having read manuals and grasping the concepts of it, I would like to first say thanks to all those, who created it! Things would be fine, but I am having really bad ssh permission problems in here: for example, if there is an empty, initialised git archive and it is pulled to over ssh, the created files have permissions only u=rwX, no more. Then subsequently git pulling doesn't work. Maybe you know how to solve it? Also, in general, how can it be set up, that >1 people have a write access to the same repository? Only by using the same login? Kind regards, Kārlis ``` ## Dirk Süsserott, 2009-06-12 13:54 Subject: Re: use git-daemon by git://IP/path?

Maybe you know how to solve it? Probably your umask is doing this? When you locally create a file (e.g. "touch foo"), does it then only have "-rwx------" as well? > Also, in general, how can it be set up, that >1 people have a write access to > the same repository? Only by using the same login? Have a look at the "--shared" option of "git init". That's supposed to create shared repositories, i.e. all users of the same group have write access. I'm not exactly sure how to make an existing repo "shared" after it's been created, but $ git config core.sharedrepository 1 (which modifies .git/config) and a reasonable chown/chmod -R afterwards should work. Hope this helps, Dirk ``` ## Jeff King, 2009-06-12 14:16 Subject: Re: use git-daemon by git://IP/path?

That's supposed to I have also had good experiences with POSIX ACLs for sharing repositories: setfacl -R -m d:u:$user:rwX -m u:$user:rwX /path/to/repo which gets rid of dealing with group management. Of course your filesystem has to support them. :) -Peff ``` ## Kārlis Repsons, 2009-06-12 14:24 Subject: Re: git shared repository & permission problems Message-ID: <200906121424.28577.Karlis.Repsons@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/200906121424.28577.Karlis.Repsons%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: <4A325E00.6050504@dirk.my1.cc> ``` On Friday 12 June 2009 13:54:08 you wrote: > Am 12.06.2009 14:13 schrieb Ka-rlis Repsons: > > Things would be fine, but I am having really bad ssh permission problems > > in here: for example, if there is an empty, initialised git archive and > > it is pulled to over ssh, the created files have permissions only u=rwX, > > no more.

When you locally create a file (e.g. > "touch foo"), does it then only have "-rwx------" as well? No, at client its allright with umask (well, in bash, not konqueror). Where from is sftp-server receiving its file permission bits for the new files?

Of course your > filesystem has to support them. :) That's the best way, of course. We use it at work to have 'release' repositories where only a dedicated maintainer and his deputy can push to. Our developers push to their 'public' repos and the maintainer then pulls their changes and pushes them to 'release' -- just like Junio does here :-) Dirk ``` ## Pau Garcia i Quiles, 2009-06-12 15:48 Subject: Re: use git-daemon by git://IP/path?
