Trouble with Git 2.1.x pushing to repos over Samba

[John Orr]

Whoops - my test function was testing the .git directory instead of .git/objects (as git does) - though .git has the same issue on execute permissions:

#: john@johndesktop:/cygdrive/l/tasks/cygwin_samba_uid_gid_handling ; ls -ld /cygdrive/l/.git
drwxrwxrwx 1 john Unix_Group+1000 0 Apr 22 13:37 /cygdrive/l/.git
#: john@johndesktop:/cygdrive/l/tasks/cygwin_samba_uid_gid_handling ; cat test_access.c 
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char* path = "/cygdrive/l/.git/objects";
    printf("access(%s, R_OK) returned %d\n", path, access(path, R_OK));
    printf("access(%s, W_OK) returned %d\n", path, access(path, W_OK));
    printf("access(%s, X_OK) returned %d\n", path, access(path, X_OK));
}

#: john@johndesktop:/cygdrive/l/tasks/cygwin_samba_uid_gid_handling ; gcc test_access.c 
#: john@johndesktop:/cygdrive/l/tasks/cygwin_samba_uid_gid_handling ; a.exe
access(/cygdrive/l/.git/objects, R_OK) returned 0
access(/cygdrive/l/.git/objects, W_OK) returned 0
access(/cygdrive/l/.git/objects, X_OK) returned -1
#: john@johndesktop:/cygdrive/l/tasks/cygwin_samba_uid_gid_handling ; ls -ld /cygdrive/l/.git/objects
drwxr-xr-x 1 john Unix_Group+1000 0 Nov 13 14:13 /cygdrive/l/.git/objects
