| Description | Git over HTTP lowers the required permission for pushes to read access, so that the AGit flow works, and relies on the repository's server-side hooks to enforce write access. A repository that is still being created by a migration, fork or template generation has no hooks yet, so a user with read access to it could push branches and tags during that window, or after a failed migration that left the repository in that state. Git over HTTP now refuses requests to repositories that are still being created. |
