Hi Ed!

I'm also a newbie here and I have a very similar setup to yours.

The only difference is that my repository was created using 
git-cvsimport and afterwards I used git-config to set 
core.sharedrepository=1 and manually set up the permissions.

I also got objects created with the users' default group, but for now I 
just changed the deafault group for those users until I find a better 
solution.

Another issue with this setup: if I run git-gc in the shared repo, it 
recreate the files in logs/refs/heads with 644 permissions, which 
prevents users to push until I manually fix the permissions.

Someone else have faced these kind of problems?
