Re: How to prevent changes to repository by root

Everything is fine as long as they don't do the "git pull" as root.

Murphy's law and all, someone is bound to do "git pull" as root on that repo
and that would sometime cause problem for the non-privileged user (who 'own')
the git repo to do subsequent git operations on that repository.

My question is:

How do I limit any action on this repository to this non-privileged user only?

Don't give root access to your users. This is the only sane thing to do
in the unix world. ,-p
