@ -81,6 +81,13 @@ The `bare-user` mode is useful for build systems that run as non-root
but want to generate root-owned content, as well as non-root container
systems.
There is a variant to the `bare-user` mode called `bare-user-only`. 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.
