confusing error when .ssh already for gl-setup command

[Larry Cai]

Binary package hint: gitolite

I use the gl-setup 1.5.3-1 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gitolite/1.5.3-1/+build/1846735 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

The issue is changing original "mkdir -p .ssh" in gl-setup to "mkdir -m700 .ssh" which causes a confusing error when .ssh already exists.

It happens when `gl-setup` is run after initial setup, it is a rare case for regular case

here is the answer from rhonda (at) debian.at to gitolite author (sitaram)

Right. We discussed that shortly a while ago, hope you remember. It was
about that I wanted to have it mode 700 like .ssh is expected to be, and
you wanted to silent the message in case the directory is already there,
which is a side-effect of -p that I wasn't aware off.

 Seeing now that mkdir also has a -m switch I rather should have gone
that path of having both in there, I just didn't see the intention or
need of -p in the first place ...
