git init permissions?

Hi list,

Maybe a silly question but I couldn't figure out the answer.

I'm looking at the git init --shared=group result and see:

drwxrwsr-x 7 ferry ferry 111 2009-04-14 19:51 . drwxrwxr-x 3 ferry ferry 17 2009-04-14 19:51 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 ferry ferry 6 2009-04-14 19:51 branches -rw-rw-r-- 1 ferry ferry 127 2009-04-14 19:51 config -rw-rw-r-- 1 ferry ferry 58 2009-04-14 19:51 description -rw-rw-r-- 1 ferry ferry 23 2009-04-14 19:51 HEAD drwxrwxr-x 2 ferry ferry 4.0K 2009-04-14 19:51 hooks drwxrwxr-x 2 ferry ferry 20 2009-04-14 19:51 info drwxrwsr-x 4 ferry ferry 28 2009-04-14 19:51 objects drwxrwsr-x 4 ferry ferry 29 2009-04-14 19:51 refs

Is there some kind of reason that the branches directory is not created with +s permissions?

I can understand it for the hooks and info directories since you can not push into those. You _can_ however push into branches and I would expect it to have +s too, like objects and refs.

Bug or my misunderstanding?
