Jonathan Nieder 4698c8feb1 config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOME 
The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files,
2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config
permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent
important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being
ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for
example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS
attack).  Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the
current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those
permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been
minimal.

Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as
a server.  A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root",
creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that
when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with

 fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied

Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems:

  1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME
     when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other
     proposal that they have to opt into).

  2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges,
     either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them
     set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work
     (e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed).

  3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are
     not caught.

This patch is of type (3).

Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to
permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at
all.

An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that
would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a
globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private.

This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config
is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors),
nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems
other than permissions.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
