Got caught up on my backlog yesterday.
Part of adding files in direct mode involved removing write permission from
them temporarily. That turned out to cause problems with some programs that
open a file repeatedly, and was generally against the principle that direct
mode files are always directly available. Happily, I was able to get rid of
that without sacrificing any safety.
Improved syncing to bare repositories. Normally syncing pushes to a
synced/master branch, which is good for non-bare repositories since git
does not allow pushing to the currently checked out branch. But for bare
repositories, this could leave them without a master branch, so cloning
from them wouldn't work. A funny thing is that git does not really have any
way to tell if a remote repository is bare or not. Anyway, I did put in a
fix, at the expense of pushing twice (but the git data should only be
transferred once anyway).
