The behavior is a bit different when the bare repository is packed vs unpacked. However the interesting areas where the file permissions need to be updated seem to be in the following files and folders (i.e. experienced push permission errors). refs/heads/* logs/refs/heads/* The following folders may also need to be considered: file: packed-refs |
If a git repository is configured using the option sharedrepository e.g. = 0666 the permissions of the created files or directories are expected to follow the shared flags e.g. above should provide read and write permissions for everyone. However, when using Egit/Jgit the permissions applied seem to follow the umask set at the user level (in Linux), in Windows the write flag is not set. The testing configuration is as follows: a bare repository created in a central linux file system using the following config. the bare repository was created from a packed repository. $ cat config [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = false bare = true symlinks = false ignorecase = true hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly sharedrepository = 0666 a windows client clone configuration set to e.g. [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = false logallrefupdates = true autocrlf = false bare = false sharedrepository = 0666 [remote "origin"] url = file:///X:/share_r4e_test/org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master a similar configuration for a client in Linux was also used. NOTE: When using msysGit (c implementation) the permissions are reflecting the sharerepository flag.
