A useful reference for update scripts is the update-hook-example.txt example shipped with git. Mostly it covers access control. In Debian's git-doc package this is normally installed in /usr/share/doc/git-doc/howto/update-hook-example.txt. There is a lot of room for policy differences but that implements a nice access policy. Something that Carl set up for us is a cron task that does a full repack (e.g. git-repack -q -a -d) periodically. Also along with that the cron task also touches up permissions to add extra protection to the tags directory. Here are some ideas. find $repodir/refs/tags -type d ! -perm -=t -print0 | xargs -r0 chmod +t find $repodir/refs/tags -type f ! -perm +a=w -print0 | xargs -r0 chmod a-w find $repodir/objects -type d ! -perm -=t -print0 | xargs -r0 chmod +t find $repodir/objects -type f ! -perm +a=w -print0 | xargs -r0 chmod a-w Bob
