The NetApp shares are configured with Windows permissions, and I forget the specifics (which I can figure out if needed) about why this is the case, but basically the deal is that if true UNIX permissions were to be used, Windows wouldn't be able to read the drive. As such, and because we use the Kerberos ticketing system, the permissions for the drive are set up such that the owners (myself and my team members) have full permissions, but nobody else does. Git doesn't like this and won't even create a bare repository. Is there any way I can get git to ignore permissions and just do what it needs to do? Thanks in advance for the help! -Matt -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/get-git-not-to-care-about-permissions-tp26268938p26268938.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
