Hi !

I'd like to restrict access to one of my repos: the project tracked by
it has several directories: a/ b/ c/ and I'd like to allow only
modifications happen in b/ directory.

I'm planning to use git hooks, not sure which one I should use: if the
check should happen at the commit or push time or both.

I also tried:

   git diff-tree <oldref> <newref> -- ^b || exit 1

but it doesn't work.

  git diff-tree --quiet <oldref> <newref> -- b

should do it; it sets the exit code.

but does that work if a commit modify b/ and another directory ?

But don't you also want to inspect all commits between oldref and newref?

Yes I want to inspect all commits in the range.

Someone could have modified the directory, and then reverted the
modification in a later commit. If these commits arrive in a single push,
the above code wouldn't notice this.

I agree but I thought that git diff-tree would list all changes made
between the 2 refs.

Thanks
