I had to think about what 075 meant, while saying [core] sharedrepository = 0644 just makes sense more or less automatically (and yes, for directories, the read bit should obviously be expanded as an execute bit). The difference is just that the latter is how you _usually_ express permissions, so people are used to it. And "being used to it" is what "ease of use" really all boils down to. Linus
