Re: Problem with user group on linux cvs server

[Nils Jakobson]

Hello. Been there too ;)
I use group sticky bit on repository folders. I suppose the situation is
like
mine - you have split all your users into departments but some people need
to commit into several projects, and if they do, like add couple new folder
to
repository, then these folders are created with their primary uid-gid pair
and
some original project folks subsequently can not add new files there or
commit there. What you do:

if you now have wrong gid files under repository directory tree, do
recursive
chown to the original project group  (chgrp -R group ./yourproject), then
add sticky bit to _each_ folder recursively under the project directory
tree,
this command should take care of it (run it from repository base):
find ./yourproject -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;

Lets see what the community says, maybe there are even better ways.
