Not only that, but you must make sure that you have the appropriate umask set. I'm not sure if this affects the pack file, but the reflog is certainly rewritten in a way that prevents other users from pushing.

I've been meaning to submit a patch to make git better honor "core.sharedrepository" (it's probably as simple as adding a couple calls to adjust_shared_perm), but the workaround was so easy that I had forgotten about the issue.
