Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for your feedback!
I've tried to merge what I can into http://darcs.net/Using/GroupRepo Note that if you'd like to edit the wiki directly, you can register via the web interface (it has a very gentle/easy textcha system for anti-spam), or just darcs get the wiki and send patches (see footer) On 24 Jul 2012, at 09:02, Wolfgang Jeltsch wrote: > > • In step 4, you assume that the user uses an umask which grants the > group read rights (and execution rights for directories) by > default.

I'm afraid I'm not doing a very good job of systematically figuring out what Darcs will do when, so the instructions page is sort of haphazard for now. It needs a more thorough approach of trying to following instructions verbatim (maybe script them) and seeing what happens (or of course, deeply understanding how darcs behaves wrt permissions, etc) -- Eric Kow <http://erickow.com>
