Sometime after v3.2, I fixed what looked like an information disclosure
issue, where a user could determine if an arbitrary repo existed or not,
even if he had no rights to see the repo. This was:
96cc2ea "new features relating to creating wild repos:"
Unfortunately, this appears to have broken gl-perms propagation to
slaves, because now running "perm -c" on an existing repo dies!
If you run
git diff 96cc2ea^ <this commit> -- src/commands/perms
you'll see how simple the fix *should* have been :-(
- new 'create' command for explicit creation
- new 'AutoCreate' trigger to prevent auto-creation on read operations
or both read and write operations
- a few related fixups to the perms command
This might actually make the redis version unnecessary for most people!
And if it does, well shame on me for not instrumenting things at a more
granular level before going all "oh we need a cache!"
[In my defense, I blame redis for being such a sweet little tool that I
felt compelled to use it somehow!]

t/sequence failed because the test itself was in error; fixed.
