From: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> and Carl Baldwin <cnb@fc.hp.com>
Subject: control access to branches.
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 23:55:32 -0800
Message-ID: <7vfypumlu3.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>
Abstract: An example hooks/update script is presented to
implement repository maintenance policies, such as who can push
into which branch and who can make a tag.
When your developer runs git-push into the repository,
git-receive-pack is run (either locally or over ssh) as that
developer, so is hooks/update script. Quoting from the relevant
section of the documentation:
Before each ref is updated, if $GIT_DIR/hooks/update file exists
and executable, it is called with three parameters:
$GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname sha1-old sha1-new
The refname parameter is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the
master head this is "refs/heads/master". Two sha1 are the
object names for the refname before and after the update. Note
that the hook is called before the refname is updated, so either
sha1-old is 0{40} (meaning there is no such ref yet), or it
should match what is recorded in refname.
So if your policy is (1) always require fast-forward push
(i.e. never allow "git-push repo +branch:branch"), (2) you
have a list of users allowed to update each branch, and (3) you
do not let tags to be overwritten, then you can use something
like this as your hooks/update script.
[jc: editorial note. This is a much improved version by Carl
since I posted the original outline]

This uses two files, $GIT_DIR/info/allowed-users and
allowed-groups, to describe which heads can be pushed into by
whom. The format of each file would look like this:
refs/heads/master junio
refs/heads/cogito$ pasky
refs/heads/bw/ linus
refs/heads/tmp/ *
refs/tags/v[0-9]* junio
With this, Linus can push or create "bw/penguin" or "bw/zebra"
or "bw/panda" branches, Pasky can do only "cogito", and JC can
do master branch and make versioned tags. And anybody can do
tmp/blah branches.
