Hi, sorry for this off-topic.
I'm starting with Git (yeah!) and creating a repository in my server to manage
various projects.
I'm learning about Git and access control (users, permissions, authorization
per repository and so).
How is this stuff implemented in SR Git repository? does it use Gitosis? If
not, how is managed the permissions?
No, it doesn't use gitosis.
All devels have an account on the machine with git-shell as a shell
which enables them restricted ssh access (only 4 git commands).
Each user has his name and email address set up as an env var
(e.g. GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="andrei(a)iptel.org")org").
The permissions are based on the group.
(I might have missed something, Jan did all the work)
The branch permissions are based on a modified update hook
(I don't remember where the original version came from, but now its
"merged" also with
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/update-hook-example.t…).
It uses a permissions file with the following format:
branch_pattern user_pattern_list
where all the patterns are REs, e.g.:
refs/heads/master$ .*
(everybody can commit on master).
