Re: [PATCH] git-receive-pack needs to set umask(2)

Dear diary, on Sun, May 28, 2006 at 11:31:41PM CEST, I got a letter
where Michael Richardson [off-list ref] said that...

If there is another way to solve this, please let me know.

Well, you didn't write what do you actually want to solve. Why do you
need to fiddle with the umask at all?

The object database is considered "append-only" unless you do git-prune
(and you should better not let anyone do that), thus it's enough if you
set all directories group-writable. Other than access the object
database, the users probably only want to update the refs - the solution
is to make refs/heads/ and refs/tags/ group-writable and setgid. This is
also what git-init-db --shared (or tools like cg-admin-setuprepo) should
already set up for you.

So, what did break?
