File permissions [message #576540]

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.
