After several days of problems with directory permissions in the objects/ directory for shared users, I finally found the cause of an issue that we have been seeing.
We are working with several shared repositories. We were trying to use a shared [include] configuration that contained [core] sharedRepository = group This was not being honoured, from an included config file. Using git config, would show that core.sharedRepository was set to 'group', as expected. However, digging through setup.c I see that shared_repository is actually configured using git_config_early(), which does not use the include mechanism that git_config()/ git_config_with_options() uses. This is particularly difficult to debug given the git-config reports values that are not actually used internally. I think that git config should report the correct values, for features that are accessed via git_config_early. Otherwise it is quite difficult to understand the behaviour, without the source code. git version 1.8.2.1 on CentOS release 5.6 (Final) -- Gordon McGregor +1 512 577 9712 -- 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
