Bug ID: 5492
Summary: Mercurial does not preserver unix ACL in '.hg.'
Product: Mercurial
Version: 4.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: feature
Priority: wish
Component: Mercurial
Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org
Reporter: pierre-yves.da...@ens-lyon.org
CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org
Mercurial is successfully preserving the unix standard permission of file in
'.hg/' (it us the same one as the one on '.hg/') but it does not perserve the
unix ACL.
Note that many unix tool also ignores ACL so Mercurial is not doing especially
bad here. In addition ACL support is non-trivial since Python itself does not
support interacting with ACL natively.
But it is still worth tracking the issue, we might be able to do some progress.
There is a Python module to handle ACL (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyACL). We
could add support for ACL preservation if the module exists and maybe vendor
it?
