IIRC, this is not portable. Some systems (not Linux) will allow anyone to connect to the socket if it the file is accessible to them (so anybody with read access to $GIT_DIR can talk to the file watcher). The usual trick is to put it in a sub-directory that only the connectors can access (e.g., put it in "$GIT_DIR/watcher/index", and create "watcher" mode 0700). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
