@ -72,30 +72,37 @@ repository. When specified, the config variable "core.sharedRepository" is
set so that files and directories under `$GIT_DIR` are created with the
requested permissions. When not specified, Git will use permissions reported
by umask(2).
+
The option can have the following values, defaulting to 'group' if no value
is given:
+
--
'umask' (or 'false')::
- 'umask' (or 'false'): Use permissions reported by umask(2). The default,
when `--shared` is not specified.
Use permissions reported by umask(2). The default, when `--shared` is not
specified.
- 'group' (or 'true'): Make the repository group-writable, (and g+sx, since
the git group may be not the primary group of all users).
This is used to loosen the permissions of an otherwise safe umask(2) value.
Note that the umask still applies to the other permission bits (e.g. if
umask is '0022', using 'group' will not remove read privileges from other
(non-group) users). See '0xxx' for how to exactly specify the repository
permissions.
'group' (or 'true')::
- 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'): Same as 'group', but make the repository
readable by all users.
Make the repository group-writable, (and g+sx, since the git group may be not

privileges from other (non-group) users). See '0xxx' for how to exactly specify
the repository permissions.
- '0xxx': '0xxx' is an octal number and each file will have mode '0xxx'.
'0xxx' will override users' umask(2) value (and not only loosen permissions
as 'group' and 'all' does). '0640' will create a repository which is
group-readable, but not group-writable or accessible to others. '0660' will
create a repo that is readable and writable to the current user and group,
but inaccessible to others.

By default, the configuration flag `receive.denyNonFastForwards` is enabled
in shared repositories, so that you cannot force a non fast-forwarding push
