This is the second attempt, after Junio convinced me that my simple approach to set umask was misguided.

If the config variable 'core.sharedrepository' is set, the directories
	$GIT_DIR/objects/
	$GIT_DIR/objects/??
	$GIT_DIR/objects/pack
	$GIT_DIR/refs
	$GIT_DIR/refs/heads
	$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/tags

are set group writable (and g+s, since the git group may be not the primary group of all users).

Since all files are written as lock files first, and then moved to their destination, they do not have to be group writable. Indeed, if this leads to problems you found a bug.

Note that -- as in my first attempt -- the config variable is set in the function which checks the repository format. If this were done in git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need to be modified to call git_config(git_default_config) first.

Perhaps g+sx not just g+s on directories.

Wouldn't this safe_create_leading_directories("/pub/git.git/objects") try chmod "/pub" and fail?

Okay:
        if (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode))
                st.st_mode |= S_ISGID | S_IXGRP;

Yes.
How about an "else" in front of the "if"? Like so:
                if (mkdir(path, 0777) < 0)
                        if (errno != EEXIST) {
                                *pos = '/';
                                return -1;
                        }
                else if (shared_repository && make_group_writable(path)) {
                        *pos = '/';
                        return -2;
                }
You want me to resend the patch?

D'oh! Time to head to bed now:
                if (mkdir(path, 0777) < 0) {
                        if (errno != EEXIST) {

                        }
                } else if (shared_repository && make_group_writable(path)) {
                        *pos = '/';

Likewise.

I've merged up your patches yesterday after some churning and they are in the pu branch. I hope I did not break them too much ;-).
