If you're not worried about the finer-grained access control that acl(5) gives you, just do what "git init --shared=group" does:

    git config core.sharedrepository 1 # as mentioned above
    chmod g+ws .git

Now set the group to something (I use "gitpushers" ;-)

    chgrp -R gitpushers .git

amd make sure all your users are part of that group.

Works fine for small teams...
