Referring to: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html

Under the "CVS-style shared repository" section, I think it should mention that in addition to making the shared repository writable to the group, it is also necessary to set the gid bit on all directories, so future added files also have the correct group.
