Unlike +`bare-user`, neither ownership nor extended attributes are stored. These repos +are meant to to be checked out in user mode (with the `-U` flag), where this +information is not applied anyway. The main advantage of `bare-user-only` is +that repos can be stored on filesystems which do not support extended +attributes, such as tmpfs. + In contrast, the `archive-z2` mode is designed for serving via plain HTTP. Like tar files, it can be read/written by non-root users. |
