For the record, although it cannot do the yes/no part, if you want to disable auto-creation on a fetch/clone (read operation) it's trivial to add a "PRE_CREATE" trigger to do that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
