Subject: Pointers to setup an internal git repository with access control
Hi,
I am trying to migrate from SVN to git and so I am looking for tools that help me create an interal repository. I currently use SVN over HTTPS/Dav using the access.conf to be able to control which uses can read/write to the repos or given branches.
Ideally I am looking for tools that enable me to do the same with git.
Regards.

Possibly look at smart http protocol [1], [2].
I may be wrong, but this access method cannot be used to implemet access control with branch-level granularity. If you really need this, use gitolite [3].

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look.
I don't have to use https+dav, it can be ssh as long as it is encrypted and I have some sort of access control. The branches item is to be able to control who can merge/commit things back to, for example, the trunk or whatever I call the "live" branch.
This way the devs can do what they want but the final merge to the "live" branch would be done after the Q&A approves.

Go for gitolite then.
