Subject: running git as root
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 08:25:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3a3d9e520906130825k25815c9atafde301d9fbc1da2@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
When running as root, git fails a number of test cases that expect it
to fail on read-only repositories (for example 't0004-unwritable.sh').
I was thinking of either changing the code so that it checks
permissions itself when opening files as root, or add a prerequisite
to those test cases so that they are skipped when running as root.
What would be the preferred way?
