With gitosis, is it possible to specify write permissions so that users can push freely to branches with their own name, but not merge with the master? E.g. $USER/test1 .. $USER/test5
This mean you could host just one repository per project, rather than hosting multiple repositories for the same project, specific to each user:
project1-user1 project1-user2 project1-user3 ... project5-user1 project5-user2 project5-user3
Gitosis controls access to repositories, but not by branch or commit. So you could put the master in a repo by itself which had read-only access and let users push their individual branches to another repo ( or one per user, as you say). I haven’t seen anyone extend gitosis for finer-grain control.
If you really need to restrict your users’ access that much and you want to use Git, then perhaps you should only take patches by e-mail and keep your repo as read-only.
