I don't think you can say that "locks" compare to a "bare repo". A bare repo is just the same as the .git of a "normal" clone. Nothing more, nothing less. > but what i do not understand is if only 1 person manage the bare > repository (setting access right to this repository) on local disk, > how can he prevent other people to modify, stage and push changes to > it ? I probably don't understand your question, because I think you answer it yourself. If a person is designated the keeper of the bare repo she/he can of course use the file system permission system to limit access to the repo. She/he can also use hooks to further control pushes. Remember a bare repo is just a folder, nothing more. Then you can layer a full-blown git server solution, like gitolite, gitosis, etc on top of your bare repo. Then you get a lot more dials and controls to play with. > Moreover, the bare repository is not for only 1 file... :( > > I would like to understand the mechanism.

I get the feeling that this is an instance of the so-called XY problem. It would probably help us helping you if you start with stating what problem were trying to solve when you cam upon the concept of bare repos. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Goto labels should be left-aligned in all caps and should include the programmer's name, home phone number, and credit card number. -- Abdul Nizar
