This seemed to work the first time on one of my repositories (the
longest lived one), so I thought this did the trick, but hasn't worked
on later pushes, unfortunately...:-/

To summarize:
I have two different git repositores containing org-mode files.  One of
these repositories use git+ssh and has a history going back 6 years with
708 commits, and one using https and with a history going back 8 months
and 37 commits.

I have set the values
 gc.auto=1
 gc.pruneexpire=now
on both of the remote repositories and all of their clients (where
should the values be set? On the remote or on the clients?).

The gc.auto setting has been there for a while with no seeming effect,
and adding the gc.pruneexpire setting seemed to work on a single push.

(I have the possibility to add a hook on the remote, to compress on every
push, or alternatively compress using a cron job, but I thought it would
be more correct if I could convince git to do this on its own)

Re: [git-users] Strict, domain-based read/write vs. read-only access.

[David Barr]

Hi, Magnus,

Does it help to identify this as a policy requirement, not a technical one?

Our security and executive groups require that the only way we add or modify 
code is within the DEV environment/subdomain/call it whatever you want. You 
MUST NOT add code to a repository from any other environment/subdomain.

What if you're in the TEST environment and you find a bug? Fix it in DEV, 
promote the change, and test again.

What if you're in the PROD environment and your shiny new web application 
crashes because it couldn't handle the load? You MUST NOT modify that code on 
the fly and update the repository from PROD. You MUST take that error back to 
DEV, update your code there, TEST it, and then promote the fix back into PROD.

Does that help?

Re: [git-users] Strict, domain-based read/write vs. read-only access.

[David Barr]

Hi, Magnus,

The Enterprise I'm working at has separated its DEV, TEST, and PRODUCTION 
environments with firewalls.

Code may be PUSHed to a Code Management System in DEV ONLY. In the TEST and 
PRODUCTION environments, the CMS repository MUST (cf. RFC-2119) be PULL ONLY. 
In proposing a CMS, I MUST include the possibility that the same user has 
access to the same project from more than one environment, so controlling 
access by user won't work. If the same user has the same access to the same 
repository in DEV and TEST, what stops that user from adding code via the TEST 
environment?

Thanks!
David

Re: [git-users] ZIP Command not Found

[Alian Xu]

Thank you Paul.
Yes, I have installed WinZip.
I tried wzzip command(wzzip test.zip *.txt) but it does not work and only
shows:

WinZip(R) Command Line Support Add-On Version 3.2 (Build 8668)

I am not sure if something I missed to do.

Another solution could be running git-repack. This SO answer[1] has some
nice details on it.

[git-users] Is it possible to edit unpublished commit?

[Xi Shen]

Hi,

I know some tricks like "rebase" and "tree-filter" that can modify the
commit history.

I want know if I can also go back to history and edit the content. So when
I push my changes, the history looks perfect :)


Thanks,
David

"git rebase -i" with "edit" command is to powerful to handle :)

[Maurizio Vitale]

you can have multiple ssh credentials and unless users share the same home
directory (and hence .ssh directory) you can still have different
permissions "per domain" w/ gitolite.

Ah, so by "environment" you mean network segment, or subdomain.

So you basically want to include the source IP address in the decision
of whether a push succeeds?

I'm sorry but this sounds *amazingly* strange to me. Probably because I
don't quite get what you mean.
