sftp is essentially a command. The wrapper sets the umask before running the command.
So, I guess any user will be able to create a new directory in a directory existing at the time you did the chmod (typically, create a new revision in an existing version), but scenario like the following are forbidden : A creates category foo B creates the branch foo--bar A creates the version foo--bar--0
I don't recall exactly, but I think if you set the archive's parent directory g+s, all new categories and branches get g+s.
or "Using multiple accounts, a group, and a sftpd-wrapper without changing global configuration"I suppose the sftpd-wrapper requires to be root, which is not allways possible.
I believe that's an incorrect assumption. They note on the page that it even works with SourceForge.
