You would at least make sure the directories there that was
created while the repository was misconfigured can be writable
by group members (i.e. permissions no stricter than drwxrws---)
and owned by the group.  Something like

	mode=2775 ;# 2770 if closed to non-members
	chgrp -R $group $GIT_DIR
	find $GIT_DIR -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod $mode
