I finally figured it out. I keep my home directory encrypted, but its pretty slow (especially compiles) and i don't care who steals open source code i'm playing with, so i keep that in /Users/Shared. Since mkdir() on darwin keeps the parents group by default, the group on my git clone was wheel, which i'm not a member of.
