File permissions [message #503139]

Hello

Because the merge functionality is lacking in EGit, I am calling git pull on Windows native Git implementation (Git Bash).

The problem are file permissions. Somehow through EGit there is never a conflict with file permissions but with native Git Bash there is.

For example whoami outputs "binarykitchen\michael". How should I fix that?

Thank you for your inputs!

Michael

Hi,
I had the same problem on windows/msysgit. I got around it by making sure that core.filemode is set to false for this repository.
Maybe you should try that by issuing "git config core.filemode false" in that repo.

Ciao
Chris
