Subject: bug#56444: Patch to fix Gitolite home directory permissions

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Evgeny and whoever wants to do some code review,

I have been experiencing this same issue for years now and have been
manually chmod'ing /var/lib/gitolite every time I upgraded because I didn't
understand what was happening.  All this time I thought I had gitolite
misconfigured, that maybe I didn't have its umask config set properly, but
it was Guix all along! In this case that's great, because it makes the
problem easy for me to fix.  Patch attached.  It works like a charm for my
personal git server (https://git.dthompson.us), /var/lib/gitolite was 700
before a system reconfigure, and 750 afterwards.

Big thanks to Evgeny for making a bug report and doing the research to
identify the root cause!

- Dave
