what userid do you update system sources under?

[tech-lists]

Hi,

When git updates your system sources, are you updating with a specific
git user, or do you just use root, and if *automatically* refreshing your
tree (like in a cronjob), again as git user or root? Or some other user?

The reason I ask is that some instructions the quoted prompt updating
the system is $ or % and not #. What way is the "right" way?

thanks,
