support for ACL #1

Closed drzraf closed 8 years ago

drzraf commented 9 years ago

ACL are pretty useful on a web-server using Git working-copy to serve applications. Eg, instead of messing with adm, staff and other groups, setfacl -m -R u:www-data:rX css/ does the trick.

But ACL are not part of the metadata supported neither by setgitperms.perl nor by git-store-meta. Is there any plan to implement it? If not, would you accept a patch for this? How would you like to define a store format for them? (getfacl and setfacl already provide a store/restore mechanism)

Sorry for missing this topic and delayed reply. Currently there is not a plan for implementing it, but it's free for you to fork or to patch it.

If you are willing to patch it, currently I personally prefer using a field name facl with field value format like u:www-data:rX g:mygroup1:rx (i.e. space separated values). But I really havn't think much about this, and it's free for you to modify it.
