+Thank you for your comment! Indeed, setting the umask to, for example, 022 has the desired effect that annex/objects etc. are executable (and in this special case also writable), my previous umask setting was 077; the \"strange\" permissions on the git directories was probably due to --shared=all, and the mode of \"440\" on the files within the git-annex tree is correct (the original file was 640 and stripped of its write permission).
+
+Using this umask setting and newgrp to switch the default group, I was successfully able to set up the repositories.
+
+However, I would like to suggest adding the execute bit to the directories below .git/annex/objects/ per default, even if the umask of the current shell differs. As the correct rights are already preserved in the actual files (minus their write permission) together with correct owner and group, the files are still protected the same way as previously, and because +x does not allow directory listings, no additional information can leak out either. Not having to set the umask to something \"sensible\" before operating git-annex would be a huge plus, too :)
+
+The reason why I am not running MPD as my user is that I am a bit wary of running an application even exposed to the local network as my main user, and I see nothing wrong with running it as its own user.
+
+Thank you again for your help and the time you put into this project!

+git-annex is just amazing. I just started using it and for once, I have hope to be able to organize my files a little better than now.
+
+Currently, I have a huge homedir. From time to time, I move file away in external hard drives, then forget about them. When I want to look at them back, I just can't because I have forgotten where they are. I have also a ton of files on those drives that I can't access because they are not indexed. With git-annex I have hope to put all of these files on a git repository. I will be able to see them everywhere, and find them when I need to.
+
+I might stop loosing files for once.
+
+I might avoid having multiple copies of the same things over and over again, without knowing so. and regain some more disk space.
+
+For the moment, I'm archiving my photographs. But there is one thing that might not go very well: directory hierarchies where everything is important (file owner, specific permissions, symlinks). I won't just be able to blindly annex all of these files. But for the moment I'll stick at archiving ocuments and it should be amazing.

+Git-annex has really helped me with my media files.  I have a big NAS drive where I keep all my music, tv, and movies files, each in their own git annex.  I tend to keep the media that I want to watch or listen to on my laptop and then drop it when it is done.  This way I don't have too much on my laptop at any one time, but I have a nice selection for when I'm traveling and don't have access to my NAS.
+
+Additionally, I have a mp3 player that will format itself randomly every few months or so.  I keep my podcasts on it in a git annex and in a git annex on my laptop.  When I am done with a podcast, I can delete it from the mp3 player and then sync that information with my laptop.  With this method, I have a backup of what should be on my mp3 player, so I don't need to worry about losing it all when the mp3 player decides it's had enough.
