- If true, the repository is made shareable between several users

- See gitlink:git-init-db[1]. False by default.
+ When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between
+ several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are

tar.umask::
- By default, git-link:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes
+ By default, gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes
to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects
such as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects.
With this variable, it becomes possible to tell
- git-link:git-tar-tree[1] to apply a specific umask to the modes above.
+ gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] to apply a specific umask to the modes above.
The special value "user" indicates that the user's current umask will
be used. This should be enough for most projects, as it will lead to
- the same permissions as git-link:git-checkout[1] would use. The default
+ the same permissions as gitlink:git-checkout[1] would use. The default
value remains 0, which means world read-write.
