Re: sharedRepository derived from file permissions

It looks like it might be easier (and less confusing to users) to derive 
this attribute from the top-level .git directory?

Hrm, clever ;-)

Is there a reason why Git doesn't just follow (and echo) the top-level 
permissions?

Other than "we did not trust that all the end users are capable of
doing the right 'chmod 2775 .git && chgrp project .git", with a
little bit of "we didn't think of that when we wrote the system", I
do not recall any.

Thanks. If I understand, you mean it might be worth a try to implement 
this.

Not really.

I still do not think that all the end users are capable of doing the
right 'chmod 2775 .git && chgrp project .git' themselves.
