Subject: [PATCH v3 10/10] init doc: --shared=0xxx does not give umask but perm bits
Date: Sat,  6 Nov 2021 19:48:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211106184858.11500-11-jn.avila@free.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211106184858.11500-1-jn.avila@free.fr>

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The description that 0640 makes sure that the group members can read
the repository is correct, but calling that octal number a <umask>
is wrong.  Let's call it <perm>, as the value is used to set the
permission bits.
