Subject: bsd group semantics
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 07:26:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090331112637.GA1910@coredump.intra.peff.net> (raw)
The recently added test t1301.17 is failing for me on FreeBSD; the
created directories don't have the GID bit set.
I traced this back to the fact that FORCE_DIR_SET_GID is a no-op on
FreeBSD due to the DIR_HAS_BSD_GROUP_SEMANTICS flag being set. I am not
sure I understand the original reasoning for this flag at all; GID seems
to work just fine on my FreeBSD 6.1 test system.
The original thread is here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/75999
It looks like Alex was having the problem on FreeBSD 4. I'm not sure if
this flag can go away with the new set_shared_perm, or if I need to just
enable on FreeBSD <= 4.
