Re: Git-daemon messing up permissions for gitweb

I'm trying to set up a git repository for mainframe Linux developers to
use at git390.osdl.marist.edu.  Everything _seemed_ to go well, until
Martin Schwidefsky started actually pushing changes back to the
repository.  When he does that, the projects disappear from the web page
that gitweb.cgi is generating.

As far as I can tell, the problem is happening because these files are
being written out with file permissions of 640, and since Apache is
running as user wwwrun, it can't read them:
-rw-r-----  1 sky git  5490 Jun  9 03:35 ./linux-2.6.git/info/refs

One of the possible soultion would be to add sky to Apache group,
make directory sticky-group, and make files readable by group (perhaps by
marking repository as shared, or something).
