I think this proposal adds unnecessary clutter to the codebase for something that can easily be achieved (and *should*) using chown, chgrp, or "sudo -u" etc.

The permissions of your Git installation and your repositories are completely outside of the domain of Git itself, and should be controlled using the administration tools designed for managing access, just like every other SCM (and every server, and every piece of software which can be accessed by many on a multi-user system).

Cheers, Wincent
