my initial thoughts were to have git do all it's normal work and hook
into git at the point where it's writing the file out (where today it
chooses between writing the data to a file on disk, pipeing to stdout,
or pipeing to a pager) by adding the option to pipe into a different
program that would deal with the permission stuff. this program would
only have to write the file and set the permissions, it wouldn't have
to know anything about git other then where to find the permissions it
needs to know.

it sounds like you are suggesting that the hook be much earlier in the
process,...

Well, you misread me or what I said was confusing or both.  I
was suggesting totally opposite.  Let git do all its normal
work, and then call your hook to munge the work tree in any way
you want.
